I have been a potter for most of my life and I make a wide range of domestic and giftware using an electric kiln. When you look at my Gallery you will see the range of things I make.
Whilst in times gone by I have potted for a living I am now retired and only make the pots which give me pleasure and allow me to indulge in getting the most out of my glazes by constantly experimenting.
I love making slab pots. Rolling out the clay and using it almost as a canvas. I apply my red, white and black slips and occasionally a bit of blue by brushing, dipping and trailing. I find this very exciting and decorate with abandon using almost anything I can lay my hands on to get an effect.
