I have been a potter for over 35 years, based in Hackney, East London. I make thrown and finely turned slip-painted domestic earthenware. I decorate by applying layers of coloured slips and I use paper cuts and stencils, wax resist and sgraffito to create distinctive imagery. I draw inspiration from the many colours, rhythms and movement in the natural world.
