Potter -
I have been potting for over 40 years in the
European tradition. My
experience from designing and making pots for companies like Harrods, Habitat
and Debenhams taught me to think about a pot’s end use but also how it feels in the hand when you use it.
My pots are earthenware using Reactive
Glazes that I have developed over the years
For me, sitting at the potter's wheel is
one of the most fantastic things you can do with your day, second only to
opening a glaze kiln, not knowing if you are about to uncover your perfect pot.
