For me, handmade ceramics offer the wonderful opportunity to make truly individual and distinct objects from the subtle marks and shapes made by my hand to organic earthy glaze finishes from traditional techniques.

I’ve always enjoyed the process of creating and I was instantly drawn to the slow gentle rhythm of ceramics. There is something quite amazing about using my hands, a few simple tools and heat to transform a humble lump of mud into a beautiful yet useful object that will last for years.

My work is a reflection of the connection I feel to the earth beneath my feet, rooted in a rural farm upbringing. From the materials I use to the classic, honest, down-to-earth designs that bring the clay’s character to life. Most of all, I love making pots that have purpose and enrich the everyday.

My Shades Collection offers a colour palette of soft textures developed from my own glazes that take inspiration from around my studio in the heart of the rolling Dorset chalk hills.
