I use a combination of slip casting and hand building techniques to create forms with many components, often recreating objects and placing them out of context. For example, I frequently use a tap as a mug handle or a teapot lid. Their surfaces make reference to utilitarian wares from industrial ceramic history, including mocha ware, Cornish ware and blue and white porcelain.
Floral transfers and metallic lustres are the finishing touches to create eclectic pieces that are precious and collectable yet ordinary and familiar.
I am currently working towards a new collection of pieces to include other materials such as metal and fabric and also a mass-produced range featuring my own floral designs.
