About Me
| Introduction | I am just a person who loves clay and has the luxury of experimenting and doing whatever takes my fancy. I love handbuilding, sometimes wheelwork, painting underglazes and just trying out ideas. I need more tutition but there are no formal teaching where I live so everything is an online class which I find hard. I have loved the clay classroom in the past and having that direct mentor beside me guiding me down the sometimes treacherous path of success with clay. I teach myself and sometimes pass on my joy and knowledge to my friends in small workshops. I will play with clay until I die. I love it. |
| What I Love about Ceramics | Clay is endless in it’s possibilities and is my closest companion. |
| How I started with ceramics | I started in the 90s painting plates. I painted and painted and sold loads of my work. I then went to pottery school and got a bit serious. I had a baby and the pottery scene was a bit flat. Until now. Lucky I did not sell any of my tools and equipment. I move to acerage and have plenty of room to create. |
| What inspires me | I love looking at everyone else’s work. I am inspired by every pottery who gives this art a whirl. |
| What I'm working on at the moment | I am working on mixing clay together, nerikomi. Not going too great but experimenting along the way is fun. I am also making mosaic panels. |
