A vibrant large jug.


A Special Commission.

This 20inch charger was designed especially to fit into a fireplace. The customers chose the glazes that they liked and fitted in with the decor. I really loved designing this plate, it came from my love of flowers and fauna, and just flowed as I worked on it.

A Few Summer Months Exploring Picasso.

It has been a very exciting time developing designs from Picasso. His paintings hold wonderful shapes just right to paint on a plate. I have had great fun painting glazes on top of each other to achieve different textures and lovely mixtures of colour. At present I am inspired by his musicians and developing a range ready for an art exhibition in Shaftsbury.
