An exploration in shape and simplicity.

I have been doing pottery for almost 20 years and this slow, mindful craft helps to define and shape my life. I make tableware and occasionally, decorative vessels. My mantra? Simple, clean, functional.

When creating functional pieces, a potter must consider both form and function of a vessel. Often the simplest designs are also the most functional. A well designed mug, with a comfortable handle and balanced shape, will be good in the hand and a pleasure to use, enriching everyday life.

We live in a time where things change so fast, and even the simple things like having a cup of tea often feel rushed. Seldom do we take our time, enjoying the moment. I hope that my handmade creations can help you to slow down when using them. Enjoy that cuppa, that soft-boiled egg, that bowl of soup, or the flickering of the candle in the night.
