I am a studio potter based in Blackwater and my passion is making pottery inspired by industrial shapes and forms. 

I use a range of different skills and techniques that I have acquired from experts in the field of ceramics and fire with my pots in either a gas or electric atmosphere using stoneware clay and a selection of glazes.

Kansai Gaidai University, Japan (2008)

My foundation in clay is rooted in Japanese culture, as I first learnt how to make pottery at university in Japan, while studying Japanese language. It was there that I learnt to value handmade ceramics, and came away with a whole range of traditional Japanese making and glazing techniques that I still use in my practise today.

Clay College, Stoke on Trent (2017)

In September 2017, I was accepted on the two-year, full-time Clay College Diploma course at Middleport Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent.

There, I learnt traditional English studio pottery practises from the hands of visiting master potters. In addition, Clay College hosted visiting potters from around the world.

Wedgwood (2019)

During my studies at Clay College, I worked part-time at Wedgwood, in their factory in Stoke-on-Trent. I had the opportunity to hone my throwing skills, while working for a high-end ceramics manufacturer.

The Great Pottery Throw Down (2019 & 2020)

After graduating Clay College, I worked on the third and fourth series of the show as a pottery consultant and technician.

This was an amazing opportunity to experience the fast paced world of television by working on an iconic pottery program with some amazing potters.

 University for the Creative Arts

I am currently working at UCA in Farnham in their ceramics department as the Tutor Technician to BA and MA students.

I also teach pottery classes for 318 Ceramics at Farnham Pottery in the evenings as well as teaching from my studio at home.
