ABOUT ME
Each piece of my work is individually hand thrown and is simplistic in form, colour and style. My ceramics are unique emphasising the lines created using the wheel which are highlighted with sympathetic glazes and lustres. My main medium is porcelain but I also experiment with stoneware clays for contrast.
I studied at the University of Wolverhampton (2004-2007) gaining a BA (Hons) in Ceramics, followed by an apprenticeship under Edmund de Waal who greatly inspired and influenced my work. I have taught art and ceramics throughout the South East and undertaken Technician and Art in Residency positions which have expanded the range and influence of my work.
CLASSES and WORKSHOPS
TYPES OF CLASSES
I run two different types of courses in my studio:
- Regular Weekly Classes (three 12-week courses a year, Spring, Summer and Autumn Term)

POTTERY PARTIES
Half Day (2.5hrs)
Full Day (5hr)
A Pottery Party is the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion; a birthday, engagement, anniversary, new arrival or just a different, and fun way to have a fun day with friends or colleagues.
Learn some new skills, use it as a team building exercise, or just come and have some fun! Pottery Parties are not just for adults, why not throw your kids a ceramic themed party for them and their friends after school, at a weekend or during the holidays.
A different way to celebrate their birthday, or keep them entertained, whilst getting them into something crafty: and they'll be able to take their creations home afterwards (once they've been fired)
Pottery Parties can be tailored to suit the day and time that you would like from morning, afternoon, all the way through to evening parties. Most Pottery Parties last either 2.5 or 5 hours (half day or full day).
As an example, Half day sessions can be from 10am-12.30pm | 1.30pm-4.00pm | 7pm-9.30pm. Full day sessions can be from 10.00am-3.30pm (with half an hour for lunch). but all timings and arrangements can be discussed on an individual booking basis.

WHAT IS COVERED IN THE COURSES?
The course is really tailored around you and your needs.
We cover all the basic forms of pottery including casting, coiling, sculpting and hand-building, and my speciality throwing on the wheel.
My courses are aimed at people of all ages and abilities so there will be some in the class with more and some with less experience. We do a mixture of one to one teaching, and smaller and larger group demos.
I don’t have a set format for each term as it is based around what you want to get out of it. Everyone has a chance to do a bit of everything and learn something new.
Hopefully the above gives you a flavour of my courses.
If you have any further questions or queries then please let me know and perhaps we can discuss over the phone or you could come and visit the studio to have a look around.
WHAT WILL I NEED?
You do not need to wear anything special but please be aware that you may get a bit mucky (especially your shoes) but most materials wash out easily. Aprons can be provided (and gloves when needed) but where possible please bring your own due to Covid-19. Visors will be provided for all students using the studio (these are individual and stored separately; they will never be used by multiple students). Please wear a facemask when entering and existing the studio until your visor is in place.
HOW TO GET TO THE STUDIO
For those who haven’t visited the studio before the address is 41 Conway Close, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP2 8PS.
There should be plenty of parking in the car park or along the road. Head to the red door in the far left-hand corner of the square and through the gate as signposted; the studio is on your left as you come in.
