My Pots
Even though choices in colour are limited when firing to 'Cone 8' (1260 deg C ), I like firing to this temperature as the ware is non-porous, vitreous (glass-like ) and frost resistant, and has a ring to it rather than a 'thunk' when tapped.  It also means that my wares are practical and can be used as well as appreciated aesthetically.

I occasionally work with porcelain, firing the pieces alongside my usual stoneware.  I enjoy producing pots which have a degree of transparency highlighted by a range of decorative effects.  Again my porcelain wares can all be used – I don’t want to think of them gathering dust – I like them to be 'out there'; seen and appreciated.

My Paintings

Watercolour was my first love and still is.  The appeal of a street disappearing round a corner and wondering what lies beyond the next bend is something that draws me along a street and  which I hope is mirrored in my paintings.  I find it difficult to part from my  paintings - they are windows into scenes I have valued.
