Current work includes sculptural and/or functional pieces for the garden and conservatory and some smaller scale work suited to a more domestic setting. Surfaces are often richly textured and much of the work incorporates landscape-based abstraction that reflects and responds in particular to the Lakeland Fells that lie on my doorstep and on which I enjoy walking. I am constantly searching for new ways to respond to the landscape and every walk on the fells contributes to this.

Craft-crank is used, fired to 1250°C in oxidation, only limited use is made of glazes with colour coming from metal oxides and high firing slips. On occasion multiple firings are employed to allow for further refinement of the ‘painted’ surface.
