About my work

All my figures are individually hand built using a grogged clay, which allows for strength in the building process, but also has the finer qualities needed for detail. I decorated with underglaze colours and oxides, which are often enhanced by repeated firings.

I hand sculpt each piece individually, but designs are repeatable and available in a range of colour options. The terracotta range highlights the fluid shapes and stylised curves of the female form and are defined with incised lines, together with strong colours to contrast with the clay body.

The character heads and female figures of the stoneware range are modelled from observation. Expressive, reflective and tranquil. The larger figures are decorated with lively patterns using sponge and brushwork.
