I became 'hooked' on pottery  when I was first introduced to clay at evening class.  At the same time, as luck would have it, redundancy from my office lifestyle  gave me the opportunity for a  career change  -  fulfilling a dream of becoming a potter.

I live in beautiful Mid Wales and  my  recent work  of country themes are influenced by this environment.  The  local annual Royal Welsh Agricultural  Show is the ideal venue to observe the farming community and  trigger my imagination to create  the  characters.   Each  piece has a playful title which adds to  the humour  I wish to express.

I jot down ideas in notebooks, sketch figures,  and collect cuttings from magazines which  spark ideas. Conversation can also set off a train of thought.

I  also make a range of  large and small figures, cats, dogs, cows and sheep.

My work is hand built using grogged earthenware and decorated with slips, under glazes and glazes.
