Hand-thrown ceramics
I’ve recently taken up ceramics again, returning after almost a 20 year hiatus.
Don’t know what took me so long, this time a determination to master the wheel, well not so much master it but give it my best shot. There’s always something to learn, that’s the beauty of clay. The biggest lesson I think is patience and resilience, I'm trying, some days are good, others are filled with sweary words.
I work from my studio in Llantwit Major, on the South Wales coast. I love spending time at my wheel, sometimes listening to podcasts, other times, just listening to the birds with the doors wide open.
All pieces are made by me in my garden studio
Ceramics is a slow craft, nothing can be rushed and I adore that, a chance to let the clay dictate your pace. On the whole, the process of completing a piece can take around 6 weeks, from throwing, trimming, glazing to firing.
I generally make my pots on a potter's wheel, sometimes though I handbuild, especially in-between big projects which is a lovely way to re-set myself.
My time is spent making crockery for the hospitality industry, corporate gifts and when I have time making small batches of functional ware to fill my online shop.
