Home Studio
I have a fully equipped ceramics studio set up in my home: a small shed with a kiln and glaze lab, and a conservatory studio with a wheel, desk and display area.
My work is thrown, turned and decorated in my conservatory, then taken to the shed to be fired and glazed.
About Me
I discovered ceramics while studying a foundation course in Art & Design. I started the course thinking I would specialise in drawing and painting, but I had one workshop in ceramics and fell in love with the process, the feel of the clay, everything. Our ceramics tutor then left soon after, and we were told if we wanted to specialise in ceramics we would have to teach ourselves. So that's what I did! I loved it. I am almost completely self taught, and I've been running my own business full time since 2017.
Here I am at my first professional exhibition, July 2018.
I grew up in Scotter, Lincolnshire, and now live and work in the historic town of Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, UK. I have a fully equipped home studio where I create all my work.
I worked for Lee Steele as a technician and studio assistant from 2017 - 2020, who influenced me greatly. I was surrounded by a pottery community and learned so much.
Check out Lee’s website. He teaches classes as well as selling his own ceramics.

Thank you to my incredible husband, who puts up with me when I work all the hours under the sun, and has always supported me fully. Thanks for driving me round the country for exhibitions, and doing all the post office runs. You’re the best.
