East Dorset Potters

Path and Inspiration

I studied Craft Design in Manchester and was a teacher for twenty years. 

On taking early retirement, inspired by the New Forest and Dorset coast, I decided to pursue my interest in ceramic and textile art.

I am particularly inspired by British wildlife.

Process and Practice

I now work in both ceramic and textile media, sometimes combining the two disciplines.

I use a range of different clays. My hand built sculptures are decorated with a mixture of underglazes, oxides and stains.
