Drawing with a variety of media, plus some printmaking and making ceramic vessels are the main elements of my work.
Too many years ago to mention I worked with clay and even became reasonably skilled at throwing. And then I stopped - even gave all the tools away. Since then I worked as a graphic designer and attained a degree in Fine Art, but all this time never crossing the threshold of the ceramics studio. Until ... ... about seven years ago I re-discovered ceramics. I'm a committed hand-builder and I use a mixture of clays, and these give me a surface to develop, using texture, slips, oxides, stains and minimal glaze. The scope is enormous - and very exciting. My influences are natural forms, the sea, craggy rocks and the wonderful world of pebbles. Probably something to do with my seaside East Anglian early life and love of bleak coastlines, plus visits to the wild landscapes of the Outer Hebrides, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Iceland. Drawing will always be important, sometimes taking a back seat, but always there.
