Bio
BackgroundMy work is often based around themes or current research, so ideas and inspiration can come from a myriad of places, but my forms are mostly vessel based. Pieces are made with porcelain, sometimes on the wheel or hand built. I love the alternative firing methods for my work, but I am currently working with naked clay techniques.
