All my pots are made to be used. A teapot, a large platter, a sushi plate or a garden planter, a pot is not completely finished until I know it’s being filled with food or plants, being enjoyed at the table or in the garden.
Earthenware pots are slipped and decorated using old and new brushes, fingers, grasses, twigs, anything I feel would make interesting marks on the slipped background.
Stoneware pots are more muted in colour and texture, allowing the clay to show through the glaze.
I fire in both electric and wood fuelled kilns.
