A beautiful pot is a celebration of our creativity. Pottery, a 5,000 year old craft, reflects mankind's capacity to create; one example of our truly incredible ability to make enduring objects and to strive for and wonder at things of beauty.  My love of pottery stems from a deep fascination in the transformation of mud to ceramics and the processes, as numerous as their practitioners, that render such humble materials objects of grace and intrigue. 

About me...

I live in St Chloe, a small village in the Cotswolds.  Potting has been a passion of mine since my school days.  I recall my teacher and friend, Steve Sheridan, saying to me; "be careful to clean the clay from under your nails, or it'll get stuck there for ever...".  It took me a few years to fully appreciate his meaning but I do now.  

I was bitten by the potting bug as a young boy and have kept an intermittent relationship with my wheel ever since.  My working life has so far included a career in the Army and subsequently in business but whenever I get the chance and opportunity allows I try to spend time in my garage/studio.

I hope you enjoy my website.  I'd be delighted for your feedback too!
