Paper sculpture is a medium I have worked with for some time to express creative ideas; I like the clear crisp graphic effect that can be achieved with paper.

My ceramic work consists of one-of-a-kind pieces that combine hand-built and wheel-thrown forms, which are then carefully altered and refined.

I also host Pottery Residential Weekends and one-day pottery courses, which focus primarily on wheel-thrown work and provide immersive, hands-on learning experiences. All workshops take place in my spacious studio in Great Brickhill.
