My work explores harmony of form and surface in clay vessels.

My Practice
Made through the meditative actions of hand-building and throwing, the works evoke a holding and containing space – feminine forms, often with wide hips and generous bellies.
Shaping a coil from textured white clay and applying it to a half-built Moon Jar by joining, smoothing and scraping.
Tools & Materials
I’m based in a small studio in Moniaive and work mainly with hand-building techniques, primarily coiling. Some pieces are made on my electric wheel. I work with a range of clays contrasting in tone and texture and have an electric kiln with most pieces firing to stoneware or being smoke-fired (in a metal bin in my garden)

Spring Fling Activity
I’m planning to show collections of vessels, both hand-built and thrown in a range of clays: Moon Jars, bowls, ‘Nest’ vessels and ‘Holding’ vessels. Also Emma Varley and I will share our ongoing collaboration, Earthlight, in a series of ‘pairings’ combining ceramic forms, prints and digital drawings at our shared pop up studio space at Gracefield Arts Centre.
