About me As for me, I came to potting late, having spent far too long in IT, from programmer to IT manager. In 2004 I completed a foundation course at Stockport College, and in 2007 I graduated from MMU (now Manchester School of Art) with a BA in Three Dimensional Design and set up my own studio. A few years later I obtained a certificate for teaching in the life- long learning sector (PTLLS). Now potting is my main occupation, although I also do academic proof reading - and sing!

About my work I like to make pots with softly curving forms and rich, tactile stoneware glazes. I have a fascination with scale - the miniature jugs and nested bowls that I make have become something of a signature. I also make practical tableware and other essentially usable pieces that people seem to enjoy picking up and handling. These too come in a range of sizes, so you can “try a mug on” and make sure it fits! The pieces are designed to be easy to live with: dishwasher- and microwave-proof as well as comfortable to hold and use.
