About
Growing up I was exposed to ceramics through my grandparents’ studio and work. I enjoyed having my hands in clay as a child, I found my way back to it when I was 18 and since then it has become a significant part of my being.
A considerable goal in my work is to create a marriage between clay, surface decoration, glaze and firing which incorporates the use of found materials, connecting the work back to the earth in this highly processed age.
Ceramics is formed entirely from natural materials, we have developed processes to make it more consistent and accessible, but fundamentally it is all rooted in the earth. The fact that I can use materials which I collect in nature from various sentimental locations around me has captured my attention.
Form, function and use are important to me. I want the pots to be held in hand, encouraging people to notice the variations built up through the subtle layering of chosen materials and firings. I am learning to see how I must allow the pot to speak for itself and not over work it, to have as little contact as possible so to keep the piece “alive”; an entity of its own, with personality and a story of what it is made from.
