woodfired ceramics
     
Throwing pots and firing them in a wood-fired anagama kiln is like playing with mud and fire. The energy and life of this inspires me. My pots are made to be enjoyable to hold and use, to live with and use everyday

News

next show
open studios, June 20th and 21st 2009, at the chocolate factory n16

leaving London
the shows this summer will be the last chance to buy pots directly from me for a year or so. My wife and I are leaving London in the autumn so I will temporarily have no workshop while we find a site to hopefully build a sustainable home and workshop.
I will keep this site updated with more news on this as it progresses...
