Present

I’m a ceramicist, author and videographer, working in London, UK.

I’ve been documenting my work on Instagram for the past 11 years, where I write about the processes involved in my craft and the ideas and discoveries I encounter along the way. I create tableware, one-off decorative and sculptural vessels and the rare commission. My ceramics are sold primarily through my online shop, unless stated otherwise but keep an eye out for exhibitions I’m often part of. Recently, I’ve started creating more in-depth videos on YouTube. These longer format films discuss process, my making philosophies and show how I throw and trim my pottery in much greater detail.

I’m also an author and in 2023 my first book, ‘By My Hands: A Potter’s Apprenticeship’ was published, more information about which you can find by clicking here.

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.
