I have been working with ceramics since I left college in 1973, I have now retired from teaching and consider myself as a part time potter. I volunteer at the school where I finished my teaching ceramics as well as informally teaching a few students at my workshop.

I established my current workshop in 2000 when we moved to our current home in Rusthall, near Tunbridge Wells. I am mainly a thrower, making a range of domestic ware that is reduction fired to 12800c. In addition to my domestic ware I enjoy modelling onto pots, most of these are inspired by landscapes I have visited.

I currently sell my work through local fairs and craft markets with occasional commissions.
