I am a self-taught ceramic artist working between the East Neuk of Fife and Edinburgh. I have a particular interest in alternative firing techniques including saggar, pitfiring, horsehair and feather raku - resulting in delicate and unique markings.
Texture is important, I creates smooth, burnished surfaces which are finished with layers of terra sigillata, an ancient ultra-refined slip. The resulting pieces, polished with beeswax, are always invitingly tactile.
Recent work explores the unique form of the guillemot egg. Laid on cliff ledges, each bird produces colourful eggs which have strong patterns.
I show my work at galleries across Scotland and exhibit at selected events including Potfest Scotland and East Neuk Open Studios.
