Woburn Art Gallery

I am a ceramic artist with a studio based in West Sussex. I make a wide range of ceramics for home and garden, both decorative and practical, including items made to order.

My work is mainly recognised for the distinctive quirky clock designs, some of which appeared on the BBC programme, ‘The Great Pottery Throwdown’. Over the years, my clocks have developed and changed in terms of the designs and decorations, from animals and floral to more contemporary patterns.

I also incorporate stamps, engraving and carving into my work to give the pieces dimension. I make most of the stamps from old glass buttons and lace fabric. Once fired, the bisqueware is modestly decorated with oxide and colourful glazes to emphasise the natural colour and texture of the clay.

As well as slab-building pieces, I love throwing on the pottery wheel, which adds to the variation of my work. For both techniques, I use earthenware, or stoneware clay, depending on what the pieces intended for.

I am always happy to discuss bespoke commissions.
