Pottery inspired by the Cornish landscape
Based near St Ives, West Cornwall I make stoneware pottery thrown on a traditional Leach kick wheel creating pieces inspired by the rugged coastline, moorland and changing colours of West Penwith.
I'm drawn to the marks and textures of the landscape, weathered rock, shifting light, coastal colours and the patterns found in nature. I translate these impressions into clay through carving, layering and subtle changes of colour, creating pieces that are rooted in the landscape but are distinctly their own.
Carved, layered and textured, these pieces are inspired by the rocks, cliffs and open landscape of West Penwith
WORKSHOPS
I run relaxed beginner's throwing workshops from my home studio in Carbis Bay for one or two people. A perfect introduction to the joys of handmade pottery.
I also tutor at Mor and Teasel Studio Pottery in Newlyn.
