I am a London-based ceramicist who trained at Camberwell School of Art and Design in the 1970s, during what has become known as the School’s “Golden Age” for ceramics. The ceramics course at Camberwell was established by some of Britain’s leading potters such as Colin Pearson, Lucie Rie and Hans Coper. I completed my education at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
In addition to ceramics I studied printmaking at Camberwell, and was the first ceramics student there to attempt to combine ceramics with printmaking by creating my own photo-litho transfers and applying them to my work. My interest in printmaking continues to this day, having developed printing techniques to decorate the clay before forming my bowls, plates, canisters and vases.
I mostly produce one-off pieces, using white earthenware clay imported from the famous pottery area of Kannenbäckerland in Germany. I decorate using slips, underglazes and transparent and coloured glazes. The interiors of my ceramics are glazed with a food-safe, lead-free glaze.
