I am a studio potter from Cumbria and the pots I make are inspired by the feeling I have whilst being out in the open spaces of the Lake District. 

It is important to me to make functional ware. I want my pots to be generous and create a connection between the landscape, the pots and the people who use them. My process incorporates hand built and wheel thrown techniques, the combination chosen to achieve a balance reflective of the natural world. Each stage of my making intuitively informs the next with pots built from slips and layered glazes. I enjoy how the application invites a thoughtful curiosity, requiring an intuitive connection with the form and previous layers with the aim to create a softness and depth. 

I am currently finishing a 2 year diploma course at Clay College, Stoke-on-Trent and this summer I will return to Cumbria to establish my home studio. I hope to make a range of domestic ware that quietly embeds into daily life; pots that sit comfortably in the home and the hand.

Please get in touch with any enquiries.
