Using natural materials to carve texture and stoneware glaze, I make ceramic tiles that depict local landscapes.Some words to fill this bit:
(Many years ago) I studied at Sheffield Hallam University on the BA Sculpture course and then gained a First Class honours degree in Design and Art Direction at Manchester Metropolitan University. The sculptural and graphic influences combine in my work. I like carving into the clay like linocut.
I experiment creating ceramic scenes of the ever-changing landscapes that are out of my window. It is a treat to have a play and enjoy the pleasure of the making process and the alchemy that occurs in the kiln. It is both meditative and adrenaline pumping! I love having a production line; making multiple pieces enables me to take risks and let the glaze work its magic.
This is my first year opening the doors with FarOpen. I have always wanted to take part in an art trail! Come and say hello, and enjoy the far reaching views across to Wales.
There are 9 artists exhibiting on May Hill, so there is plenty to explore while you are here. My studio is right on the footpath to the top of May Hill, so why not scale the summit while you are here.
