Homo Faber
I am delighted that I now feature in the Homo Faber Guide - a portfolio of selected artisans from across the globe, listed by location and craft. I couldn't be more pleased to belong to this wonderful organisation that supports and promotes excellence in craft.
Homo Faber
An Island of Light
Early this year I was commissioned by the Homo Faber curatorial team to create two large blue moon jars. These two vessels will feature in the Homo Faber Biennial 'An Island of Light'.

It is an enormous honour to be asked. This international festival is taking place in the historic grounds and buildings of Fondazione Giorgio Cini on the beautiful island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice this September. I plan to visit during September and I know that it will be a once in a life time moment. I will return with news and images, but for the moment check out the link to the event.
Acclaimed British artist Es Devlin has created 'a journey that illuminates the world of craftsmanship'.
Suffolk Craft Society at
NT Ickworth House
If Venice is too far, you can also find my work a bit closer to home. I am currently exhibiting with the Suffolk Craft Society at the beautiful National Trust Ickworth House, near Bury St Edmunds. It's a wonderful exhibition showcasing the very best of craft in Suffolk.
And as an added bonus, it includes the first work coming out of the Crossing Craft project, a collaboration with the Society of Designer Craftsmen, where artists are crossed with other artists, cross society and craft. Sadly I did not participate in this exciting project as I was too busy with other commitments but hope to next year.
For details , check out the Suffolk Craft Society link.

Inspired by coastal form, colour and light
I create hand built contemporary vessels, inspired by my discovery of the salt marshes and tidal coastline that surround me.
A sense of place
As you walk along a beach, your eye is often drawn to a particular stone or shell. Who knows what it is that makes it stand out from the crowd, and as you pick it up you admire its colours, texture and form before putting it in your pocket.
It feels good in your hand as you explore its form and surfaces which tells the story of its long journey through the rough hands of the waves and tides.
My aim is to create artwork that embodies the sense of place I get when contemplating the tidal coast, both at large and small scale.

Ceramic Art London
I've not come down yet from my time at Ceramic Art London (CAL) It's such a great event - so wonderful to meet the visitors, pottery lovers and collectors, as well as spend time with others artists exhibiting. It is a prestigious event, now in its twenty second year, and although the majority of artists selected are British, it is becoming more international as well, inviting artists from around the world, which makes it even more exciting. Fingers crossed I get selected next year.
Selected Society artist
As well as being a selected member of Anglian Potters, The Suffolk Craft Society and The Craft Potters Association, I have recently become a selected member of two more societies.
Society of Designer Craftsmen
I was delighted to be accepted as a full member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen (MSDC). It's a great honour and I'm very proud to be a member of one of the oldest and most highly regarded arts and crafts society in the UK.
Design Nation
I am also extremely pleased to have also been accepted as a professional member of Design Nation. It is a wonderful community full of energy and ideas as well as a stunning portfolio of talent.
