Present

I’m a ceramicist working in North London.

I’ve been documenting my work on Instagram for the past ten years, where I write about the processes involved in my craft and the ideas and discoveries I encounter along the way. I make tableware, one-off decorative and sculptural vessels and the rare commission. Work is sold through my online shop only, unless stated otherwise. More recently I’ve started creating more in-depth videos on YouTube. These longer format films discuss process, making philosophies and show how I make my pots in far greater detail.

If you're interested in obtaining anything keep a look out on my Instagram page where I'll make any announcements of when work is to be sold via my shop. Or sign up to my mailing list, as I often give advanced warning of when my shops will be live there.

If you've got any further queries please send me a message directly via my contact page.

Past

I spent six months, (2017—2018), as Ken Matsuzaki's visiting apprentice in Mashiko, Japan. Where I learnt how to use the traditional Japanese kick-wheel to make his established shapes, alongside how to glaze in both the oribe and shino style and how to fire them.

I trained with Lisa Hammond at Maze Hill Pottery for two years as her apprentice before completing a third year as her part-time assistant, which gave me the opportunity to spend a few days each week on my own practice. (2014–2017). 

Prior to my apprenticeship with Lisa Hammond  I spent two years (2012–2014) on the DCCoI Ceramics Skills and Design Training Course in Thomastown, Ireland. A pottery school dedicated to teaching its students the fundamental skills and knowledge necessary to work as a studio potter. I was awarded 'Student of the Course' upon completion. 

Previously to this I studied ceramics in the Rudolf Steiner School I attended, for both GCSEs and A-Levels. It was here my drive for pottery started, spending countless hours practicing on the wheel with guidance from my teacher Caroline Hughes. During this time I took the opportunity to do a work placement at Leach Pottery in St. Ives, assisting Jack Doherty along with the other production throwers.
