About
I am a London based ceramic artist designing and making from my garden studio. I work with high-end stockists worldwide as well as interior designers and private clients.
My ceramics are mainly made to order and I love working on special commissions and bespoke pieces - be it for a one of a kind birthday or wedding present or something for a particular space. Please contact me and I would be delighted to discuss further.
My clients include: National Portrait Gallery, Matches Fashion, The Newt in Somerset, Sketch, Moda Operandi, The Edition 94, Birdie Fortescue, Sotheby's, Maison Estelle, Estelle Manor, The Lanesborough Hotel and Thyme England.
My work has been featured in House & Garden, Homes & Gardens, Sunday Times Style Magazine, Livingetc, Grazia Casa, Evening Standard Magazine, Enki and Red, amongst others.
Visitors are most welcome to visit my studio by appointment. I also hold an Open Studio in May and November each year where seconds and samples are available for sale.
Process
In a time of uniformity, I find meaning in creating pieces slowly, by hand and with intention. No two works are ever the same—each one is individually made, guided by intuition and made to last.
I work almost exclusively with porcelain, drawn to its delicacy and natural translucency. Each piece is either hand-built, wheel-thrown, or a combination of both techniques.
Sustainability is central to my process. I use brush-on glazes, practice raw glazing and recycle materials whenever I can. I’m always looking for ways to reduce waste and create in a way that respects both the craft and the environment.
After working in the art world for over thirty years, where I was surrounded by beautiful objects on a daily basis, I had a craving to create my own work. I had always been drawn to ceramics so it felt only natural to choose clay as my medium.
As a child who grew up in the countryside, the fields and woods of England deeply imbue my work - be it in the forms my pieces take or the decorative elements I use.
I ran the Cecil Beaton archive at Sotheby’s for many years and the photographer’s sense of style and designer’s eye have been a great inspiration for my ceramics.
