Clay working has been a habit of mine for twenty seven years.
My decisions for design have ranged through many areas: figurative, representative, abstract, utility ware. I work with clay because it is a versatile, natural material which will take almost any form that I can imagine.
I work in hand building because that is my strength, although I do like to throw to engage in that time honoured process as a potter.
I follow my instincts more and more and let the road follow itself.
