I was born in 1977 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

I’ve been making hand thrown pots for almost 20 years having spent over half of my career as a potter and manager at the historic Winchcombe Pottery in rural Gloucestershire between 2012 - 2024.

I grew up knowing that my family had worked as potters at both Leckhampton and Winchcombe Potteries but my first exposure to studio pottery was seeing the pots of Michael Cardew, Elijah Comfort and Sidney Tustin. They struck me immediately as beautiful pots that seemed to fit into the countryside that they were made in and that I was bought up in.

I returned to making slipware pots in March 2024 from my own workshop in Evesham. My pots are made to be used in the home, a celebration and enhancement of the table. When I first started making pots it didn’t take long for me to realise that I had a true passion for traditional slipware pottery, especially old, functional country pottery. I make ceramics that have roots in historic pottery and also sit within the Leach tradition, pots that have contemporary uses in today’s home. My work is mostly thrown from red earthenware clay and decorated using clay slips with warm honey coloured glazes.
