From my workshop in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, I produce individual contemporary tableware and accessories.

All my work is hand-built from porcelain clay slabs constructed as delicate boxes. Each piece is then hand-decorated using mainly sgraffito (scratching into the surface) and inlay techniques, and is therefore unique in its design.

The pieces are fired twice in my old re-conditioned front-loading kiln. I have tried various clay body and glaze combinations, but have settled on a French porcelain called Limoges, and a rather delicious transparent glaze which is silky to the touch, and enhances the cleanness of the lines and form. All the work is food-safe and waterproof.

I call them 'Mustard', 'Tealight', 'Jewellery' etc., but the uses to which they can be put are limited only by the imagination! Or if function isn’t your thing, then they can be used for... nothing at all!
