Hand built and thrown ceramics and ceramic sculptures. Influenced by ancient cultures, imagery and mythology. Decorative and functional, high fired stoneware designed to appear timeless - as though each unique piece has been unearthed from maybe an archaeological site, a weathered survivor, with it's own story to tell. The Jurassic coast is a powerful inspiration for textures, colours and organic forms.

Medieval influences have produced a rare sculptural addition of a working threaded screw top. Instructions from a medieval pottery manuscript in Italian script led to many years of trial and error and I have finally produced a few rare working screw top jars.
My work includes the “Banquet” range – food as art – every piece is an individual and unique artwork intended to be a pleasure to use, enhancing the food and drink experience according to ancient Japanese philosophy.
A selection of "Banquet" bowls were featured in chef Tom Kerridge's book "Tom's Table", published by Bloomsbury publishing,
