01
The Hare
A hand built sculptured hare in stoneware clay body with a semi matt, aged bronze effect glaze. I like the sideways glance depicted – has a mischievous look with character!
02
A Cylinder
Wheel thrown cylinder in a duo of glazes to reflect field and sky of North Norfolk.
03
A Bud Vase
Bud vases are a favourite make of mine, mainly as there are so many shapes to create on the wheel, and of course they are perfect vessels for some floral flourish from the garden. This a two toned blues bellowed bud vase.
04
A Gluggle Jug
This is my version of a gluggle jug. Hand built in a neutral palette of colours to head, and multi coloured accents to main body. I wanted this make to be characterful and raise a smile, and yes, it does gurgle! A nod to a favourite TV show of mine, Great Pottery Throwdown. 2024 edition created a revival of this Stoke pottery classic in one of its pottery challenges for contestants. I like gluggles, they are fun but functional pieces!
05
A Shell Dish
Seashells are a frequent make of mine reflecting my love of the seaside. This is a textured shell dish, in natural glaze tones of greens and browns. Edged with bubbled sea outcrops eroded by coastal erosion- a feature of North Norfolk coastline
06
A Sea Bowl
Bowl with a bubble glaze to reflect the blue sea and bubbling foamy waves.
07
The Earth
My love of botanicals often reflected in ceramic makes- here a flower bloom inspired bowl with textures to create interesting glaze effects in signature earthy tones.
08
A Square Plate
Textured oval square plate inspired by beachscapes of Sheringham, and West Runton where the fossilised limestone deposits are often revealed at low tide.
09
Sea Urchins
Duo of sea urchins fused together in layered glaze effect of blues, greens and earthy tones.
10
Rhythm
Bowls are a favourite make of mine, and this one is no exception, a fluted design with a wider rim and smaller base maketh a great shape for applying exciting multiple glaze combinations to great effect. Dangers of stray glaze on kiln shelves are safely contained within bowl interiors so can be more liberally applied. Rhythm and patterns magically emerge from final glaze fire.
11
Seed Head
A small hand built vessel – bud vase. Reflecting botanical and natural forms, this piece is likened to a seed head. The glaze here is one of my favourite combinations – with a natural palette of blues, greens and browns.
12
Deep Blue
Wheel thrown wider rimmed bowl in a deep blue glaze & interior contrasted with a circular pattern of cloud like formations.
13
A Hand-Built Bowl
Hand built bowl heavily textured both on rim and interiors. I love the way glazes react with these textural forms to create unique and beautiful ceramic pieces
14
A Norfolk Seal
A hand built sculptured north norfolk seal in a mottled effect blue glaze. Traditionally grey, this is a nod to sea inspired coast where these mammals thrive.
15
Glazes Like Candle Wax
A simple wheel thrown cylinder plant pot in a mix of glazes which drip like candle wax to create a wonderful fusion of colours.
