More Info
Using natural materials to carve texture and stoneware glaze, I make ceramic tiles that depict local landscapes.(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.
There are lots of artists exhibiting around May Hill, so there is plenty to explore while you are here.
This is my second year taking part in FarOpen and I'm looking forward to opening my doors again. You are warmly welcome to come and enjoy the views and see what I have been up to!
