Hello, thank you for visiting my website!

 

I am a ceramic artist and author specialising in versatile and tactile hand-thrown tableware. From plates and bowls to mugs and serving dishes, my tableware adds a touch of warmth and authenticity to any dining experience.

 

After graduating in 2010 from Brighton University with a 1st class ceramics and wood Masters Degree, I went on to set up my own ceramics studio, working on a variety of tableware collections and freelance commissions for clients.

 

My current studio is located in London, Forest Hill, SE23. I grew up in this area so it holds many memories for me and I am proud to have a small business here, contributing to this wonderful community that gave me so many opportunities growing up. 

​

My work is durable and well-suited for everyday use. Whether it's enjoying a morning coffee from my hand-thrown mug or serving a meal on a set of my plates, my tableware adds a personal touch to any dining experience and celebrates the beauty of handmade craftsmanship.

​

I absolutely love making but I also love giving back to my community by hosting a variety of pottery workshops in my studio. I love sharing my passion for ceramics with others! Workshops offer participants the opportunity to explore their creativity, learn new skills, and experience the satisfaction of working with clay firsthand.

​

The variety of workshops I offer can cater to different skill levels and interests, ranging from beginner-level sessions where participants can learn the basics of hand-building or throwing, to more advanced workshops focusing on specialised techniques or specific projects.

 

Please get in touch for any enquiries or commissions
