Current Work

The designs stem from my interest in asymmetric constructions, geometric sequences, progressions and weave patterns. The way  the two dimensional idea integrates with the three dimensional form is of particular concern

All this work is oxidised stoneware fired in an electric kiln.

Although I make some hand built sculptural pieces  most of my pots are wheel thrown.

The surfaces are developed using sgraffito, masking and resist techniques using a reactive slip under an opaque glaze.

A recent development is to apply a glaze very thickly over the same slip resulting in a range of heavily cratered textures. I can also engrave through the glaze so that when it is fired there is a reaction between the design and the craters, allowing the materials to make their random contribution to the underlying structure.
