I love the childlike qualities of clay - the fact I can cut, squeeze, squash, print in and paint on this fabulous medium. I make sculptural pieces based on the nautical theme having been influenced by my time living by the Essex coast. I work with a Limoges earthenware which I high fire to 1150 and use oxides and matt underglazes to emphasize the weathered effect. Individually made and named, each piece has a character of its own. Living now in the rural French countryside there are many new influences and ideas to develop.
