I make thrown and hand built stoneware items for the home. Each piece is unique and individually decorated and depicts garden birds, often wrens and blackbirds, in naturalistic settings.
The illustrations are made by carving through a layer of black slip using a technique called sgrafitto, or in the more colourful pieces, a combination of coloured slip, paper resist and sgrafitto.
I work from my home studio in Sheffield and take inspiration from the seasons and what is happening in my garden and the nearby green spaces.
