Quite happy how this vase turned out. Only small crack easy to avoid (don't put to fire before its dry-wait 2 days at least 😜). I was making similar tiles and small soup dishes 12 years ago following a trip to Mauritius when I had a small studio in Royal Stafford in Burslem. It helped me to get into MA Ceramics as part of my portfolio! Sometimes the live is taking loops.. more like a spiral as the canvas now is 3D-printed parian porcelain #digitalcoiling #digitalfabrication #3dprintedceramics #3dclayprinting #parametricdesing

More trials using the plug-in of @lyt.studio after her masterclass at @thepaacademy I like the texture The handles feel quite heavy ... Trying to get used to the seam line 😃 #digitalcoiling #3dprintedceramics #3dclayprinting #ceramics #digitalfabrication #Grasshopper #parametricdesing

A short film about me and my work, thank you @hildagoose Some of this work is currently exhibited in Three Counties Open Art Exhibition @artskeele Parts of the work shown will be included in the installation Tower of hope with @Design -Nation in the upcoming exhibition Design-Nation Presents: The Beauty of Becoming from 13th September to 9th November at @hubsleaford If you are interested to learn more I'll be delivering Masterclass Digital Coiling at the Hub on Sat 11 Oct, 10am - 4pm You can see live demonstrations of 3D printing with porcelain during: *Acava Open studios on 13th September in my studio in Acava studios, Stoke-on-Trent *Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair in Victoria baths, Pool C in Manchester 16-19 October #GNCCF #TheBeautyOfBecoming #digitalcoiling #digitalfabrication #digitalart #3dclayprinting #3dprintedceramics #rhinoceros #virtualreality #VR @greengradsuk @craftscouncil

Still feeling inspired by yesterday’s workshop. Thank you to @popsymag for facilitating and to @brilliantbamboouk for organising. I cannot stop playing and experimenting with these materials. More bamboo creations coming soon. #BambooCraft #SustainableDesign #ikebana #Maker

I had a wonderful time in The House of light!! Thank you for inviting me @abalonuk You are amazing ❤️ #porcelain #lightinstallation #digitalfabrication #community #coral

Cricket festival - all set up, nice music and lovely people around

Thanks to Anny @digit.granny for giving up a whole day- see below. 15 GREEN GRADS are taking part in total. REPOST @digit.granny 🌍 Earth Day 2026 On 22 April, I will join 14 brilliant GREEN GRADS at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School in Islington to celebrate Earth Day 2026 — a day dedicated to creativity, sustainability, and inspiring the next generation. I will be sharing my project Digital Grotto, a work that begins in virtual reality and becomes real through 3D printed clay. The installation includes my 3D scanned figure standing before a monolith inspired by Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke — a symbol of stepping into new knowledge and new worlds. Now that NASA has completed the Artemis II mission, the future feels closer and more tangible. This new era of exploration reminds us that today’s young people will shape tomorrow’s future. Some of the girls we meet may one day be 3D printing houses on the Moon, using the same principles of layered construction that we explore in clay 😊 3D printing with clay belongs to this wider spirit of innovation. It uses only the material required, produces almost no waste, and allows me to design, test, and refine complex forms digitally before I touch the clay. This approach reduces unnecessary prototypes, minimises environmental impact, and encourages a more thoughtful relationship with resources. It is a way of making that honours the deep history of ceramics while embracing sustainable, forward looking technologies. To honour Earth Day, I will teach the girls the oldest clay technique of all: making coils — and we will see what we create together by the end of the day. Long before VR, printers, or Moon missions, humans built everything from simple coils. The girls will become “clay printers,” building a piece layer by layer, just like the Digital Grotto. Huge thanks to @greengradsuk GRADS and our founder Barbara Chandler @sunnygran for bringing together such an inspiring group of eco minded makers, designers, and thinkers. Big thank you to Michael Czerwinski @maczerwinski for coordinating this event with such professionalism and dedication. I am so excited!

Heading to London for Earth Day 2026 with @greengradsuk !Looking forward to visiting Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School to talk with the students about sustainable practices and share some ideas for a greener future. I’ll be presenting my small Grotto light installation and show how I created it. We will be talking about new technologies and dream abou space travel! As part of the day, we will be trying to work like a 3D printer, building a big bowl from coils to explore how manual craft and technology can intersect for sustainable design. Plus, I am bringing some special small 3D-printed elements donated by @piotr_wasniowski  as prizes for the girls who manage to make the longest coils! It will be so much fun! 😃 It’s a privilege to be part of these conversations and see how we can all contribute to meaningful change. 🌍 #GreenGrads #EarthDay #SustainableDesign #EGA #digitalcoiling

The creation of my tallest 3D printed piece! Now part of Brampton Museum Open Art and Craft exhibition 2026. So happy to have my piece selected from 263 application! #digitalcoiling #digitalfabrication #ceramics #contempoparyceramic

Lush Spring Unfolding - new experimental mix media work for Palette Green Exhibition at @greatbear_gallery The silk of your soul awakens from its winter sleep, For the longing itself is the light leading the way. In each knotted thread, a garden begins to breathe. #MixedMediaTextile #FiberArt #sustainability #TextileSculpture #Nature

Soya milk, kitchen scraps, and nettles 🌿 My first time naturally dyeing as part of some experimental work for the upcoming GREEN Exhibition at Great Bear gallery Testing results from red onion skins, red cabbage, and nettles (though the nettles were a bit of a letdown!). It was fascinating to see the ferrous sulfate and bicarb modifiers work their magic on the final tones. Love the colours from the red cabbage! Thank you @aliciawalkertextiles for your advice!! #naturaldye #greenexhibition #greatbeargallery #sustainableart #greengrads
