I like to make pots. I find the process, and the methodical approach, very peaceful.

I trained as a craft maker, working in wood, metal, plastics and ceramics, and then didn’t make for about twenty years.

Now I have a pottery at home, where I work in terracotta with a soft, earthy palette inspired by the colours of rural France. The decoration draws on traditional French jaspé ware and English slipware: the loops, dots and lines that are the visual language of these heritage styles.

I make tableware: cups, bowls and pitchers. Each piece is wheel-thrown, then decorated with slip by pouring, trailing, sgraffito and brush marks. I fell into this way of working by chance, and I love it for the tension between structure and spontaneity, where every mark remains visible.
