Ceramics
My interest in ceramics started as a pre-school child, having a handy supply of clay in my garden at home. Then the opportunity to take ceramics at school introduced me to throwing.

Since then I have continued with both hand building and throwing. After school I trained as a teacher and attended art college. I worked as a pottery teacher and as a professional potter.
Over the years various courses with renowned pottery have added new ideas and a greater depth of knowledge. I now divide my time between hand built animals in stoneware, making clay masters for casting in bronze resin, throwing functional stoneware and a range of bowls, bottles, jugs etc., in porcelain agate. She also has a passion for early medieval ware and has produced a range of reproduction pieces on commission for a local restoration project.
A sculpture of Tarka the Otter was turned into bronze. Her inspiration is drawn from a lifetime of observing animals, and from the constantly changing scenery of the Cornish countryside.
