STUDIO CERAMICS & SHOP
Throughout history, people have transformed humble raw materials into objects of both utility and artistry. The act of shaping clay—guided by human hands, necessity, and imagination—has resulted in creations that serve everyday needs and delight the senses.
From ancient pottery vessels bearing the fingerprints of their makers to intricately glazed tiles decorating sacred spaces, these handmade objects reflect both the practical needs and aesthetic values of their cultures, offering a tangible link to the artistry and ingenuity of past civilisations. Inspired by these enduring traditions, I endeavor to carry forward this legacy in my own work.
Drawing inspiration from both historical artefacts and the natural world, I create functional, tactile, and beautiful pottery.
The textures of the local landscapes and the patterns found in ancient ceramics often inform the shapes and surfaces of my work, evoking a sense of comfort and nostalgia.
Each piece is individually crafted—either hand-thrown or hand-built—in our East Yorkshire studio, and finished with lead-free, food-safe glazes. Unless specified otherwise, all items are stoneware and are fired using an electric kiln.

SALVAGE WARE (Retired)
Inspired by a post-industrial landscape and influenced by the Steampunk genre, Salvage Ware imagines a world in which discarded industrial debris is salvaged and given new form and purpose.
Using clay, oxides and glazes I create the illusion of rusting metal, corroded paint and the textures of deterioration. The pieces show the way in which the processes of erosion and corrosion change and distort the material itself. By exploring texture, colour and form I produce pieces in which functionality has been tempered by the corrosive nature of the environment and of time.
