WHAT I DO
I’m an artist and maker based in Forfar, Scotland. Since graduating from Grays School of Art in Aberdeen, I’ve developed my practice from tile making to creating forms and vessels with porcelain. My work is hand built using slabs of clay which are rolled, cut and hand formed.
MAKING
I love experimenting with clay and my making process is a way to work through my ideas and communicate my thoughts. I believe that hand making is an ancient and fundamental human activity that can transcend cultural divides. Hand crafted objects express our identity, while the process of making can enhance our health and well-being. This process allows me to create my shapes with the flexibility to inlay colours using my signature techniques.

I’ve always combined my ceramics practice with my work in arts and business consultancy. This mix has enabled me to work closely with artists, makers and designers from diverse cultures around the world, and influences the themes I explore in my ceramics..
