Based in rural Shropshire, I make functional pottery with a modern twist, from my studio in a converted milking parlour.

 

Hand-crafted pottery has a wonderful ability to elevate everyday rituals, like making and drinking a cup of coffee, into something much more special; into a moment to pause, to notice the beauty in the everyday. This feeling is at the heart of my work.

​

Sometimes we forget the simple pleasure of using things created lovingly by hand. Taking such a basic material as clay and using it to create something beautiful is simultaneously grounding and inspiring. I try to convey this feeling in every piece that I make.

 

I believe beautiful handmade pottery shouldn't sit on the shelf - the joy is making it part of everyday life. I use a high-fired stoneware clay, and my glazes are food-safe and dishwasher-safe, so that each and every piece is ready to be used and enjoyed.
