I think of tableware as ‘table architecture’. The way we choose to use functional pieces affects and enriches our lives like the angle of a handle or the way the soft curve of a tumbler in our hand can enrich our day with joy and sensual pleasure.

I feel a real responsibility to make objects that are worthy of the space that they inhabit on this earth and to that end put care and love into every singe piece.

I find my inspiration in the landscape I inhabit. Having spent much of my adult life living in Bristol studying for my ceramics degree at Bower Ashton School of Art, I am drawn to ‘edges’ in the urban landscape. This can mean the point at which stone meets metal or brick meets concrete. At my home in West Wales amidst this wild land I now move through, it is the natural edges of rock and tree, sea and cliff, pebble and pool that draw my attention.

I carry these inspirations within me, not to try and copy but more as companions that have become part of me.
