Homo Faber An Island of Light
I am delighted to announce that I have been selected to produce two vessels for the Homo Faber Biennial. This global festival is taking place in the historic grounds and buildings of Fondazione Giorgio Cini on the beautiful island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice this September.
Acclaimed British artist Es Devlin has created 'a journey that illuminates the world of craftsmanship'.

It's an enormous honour to be asked to show my work and I can't wait to visit this global exhibition of crafts selected from all corners of the world.
More news to follow as it becomes available.
And from global to local!
I am taking part in the annual Burnham Art Trail, now in its 22nd year. I have participated in this lovely local event for many years although have missed it for the last two years as busy with other exhibitions. I'm happy to be back on my own patch again and meet all my fellow local artists and visitors. It's on the last week of June, including both weekends - check out the website for details.
Open Studio
I will also be opening my own studio but will be by appointment only. As well as new work, I will be including some old stock and a few seconds - all lovely work at much reduced prices. I will also try to get some pieces on my website for sale but I will certainly be putting some images online via Instagram so keep following me if you want a bargain.
You can of course still purchase my work at any of the stockists listed below but if there is anything you specifically would like, then please reach out to me by email or DM Instagram. I will be able to tell you what stock each gallery has to save you a journey.

Inspired by coastal form, colour and light
I create hand built contemporary vessels, inspired by my discovery of the salt marshes and tidal coastline that surround me.
A sense of place
As you walk along a beach, your eye is often drawn to a particular stone or shell. Who knows what it is that makes it stand out from the crowd, and as you pick it up you admire its colours, texture and form before putting it in your pocket.
It feels good in your hand as you explore its form and surfaces which tells the story of its long journey through the rough hands of the waves and tides.
My aim is to create artwork that embodies the sense of place I get when contemplating the tidal coast, both at large and small scale.

Ceramic Art London
I've not come down yet from my time at Ceramic Art London (CAL) It's such a great event - so wonderful to meet the visitors, pottery lovers and collectors, as well as spend time with others artists exhibiting. It is a prestigious event, now in its twenty second year, and although the majority of artists selected are British, it is becoming more international as well, inviting artists from around the world, which makes it even more exciting.
Selected Society artist
As well as being a selected member of Anglian Potters, The Suffolk Craft Society and The Craft Potters Association, I have recently become a selected member of two more societies.
Society of Designer Craftsmen
I was delighted to be accepted as a full member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen (MSDC). It's a great honour and I'm very proud to be a member of one of the oldest and most highly regarded arts and crafts society in the UK.
Design Nation
I am also extremely pleased to have also been accepted as a professional member of Design Nation. It is a wonderful community full of energy and ideas as well as a stunning portfolio of talent.
