I produce small batch and one-off functional and decorative ware as well as sculptural and installation pieces. My influences are varied, recent work is inspired by Eastern (Japanese and Korean) traditional production techniques and aesthetics. My current vessels often incorporate locally sourced wild clay and river bed inclusions.

Previous decorative, sculptural work is influenced by the rugged geological terrain and rock types of the Scottish Highlands.

‘Echoes’ (160 slip-cast bone-china and porcelain bricks) and ‘You can’t look back because it’s gone’ (photographic images projected through a clayprint ‘window’) explore themes of industrial archaeology – referencing Glasgow and the West of Scotland’s industrial heritage, de-industrialisation and urban regeneration.

After 10 years as a Studio member at the Glasgow Ceramics Studio in Dennistoun, East Glasgow, I now make my ceramics at home in the Renfrewshire countryside.
