I have been passionate about pottery for over twenty-five years, starting with an evening class while I was teaching in Bristol. That initial experience ignited my love for the craft and led me to spend six months at Nelson Community Pottery in New Zealand during my travels.
In 1999, I established a small studio in Bath before relocating to St Ives in Cornwall to join the prestigious Gaolyard Studios, managed by John Bedding, a former apprentice of Bernard Leach. During my time there, I created both wheel-thrown and hand-built pieces, which were exhibited nationwide.
I took a break from pottery while raising my children and running a small restaurant with my husband for fifteen years. I returned to making full-time in 2021, and in 2023, I am honoured to be selected as a maker at Contemporary Applied Arts, marking a significant milestone in my artistic journey. In 2026 I am exhibiting at Collect Art Fair at Somerset House, and at Ceramic Art London at Olympia West. Additionally, I teach pottery and have conducted various workshops, including team-building sessions for groups like the Nokia design team.
