Looking forward to showing new work at County Hall Pottery’s winter exhibition HOUSE, opening next week. For this show, I’ve evolved pieces from my ongoing Critter Collection, exploring new critters and finishes. Each piece incorporates wild clay and beach granite, giving the surface a speckled, time worn quality. Save the date ~ HOUSE @countyhallpottery 18 November to 21 December 2025 Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 11:00 to 18:00. Closed 13:00 to 13:30 Location: County Hall Pottery, Riverside Building, SE1 This winter we welcome you into HOUSE, a curated exhibition and marketplace celebrating contemporary ceramic design for the home. Expect playful statement lamps and stools alongside functional bowls, plates, and planters. Browse, shop, and take home one-of-a-kind pieces by around 50 emerging and established ceramic artists from around the world. Perfect timing for festive gifting. Meaningful, design led, and handmade.

Studio in January
Surrounded by pots and objects, working on new things - this is where I’m happiest, even if it gets a bit too full sometimes! Sharing and selling my work is a challenge! I often feel overwhelmed thinking about how to get my work out there or who to approach. A lot of you are here for the found objects and images - that’s how this account started. But I’m sharing more of my own work now, and a bit more of myself too. So hi! And thank you for sticking with me :) Outside of this, I juggle a couple of jobs. I used to work full time as a set designer and still dip in and out of that world, as well as working part time in a shop here in Hastings. A lot of what’s pictured here is for sale so If you see something you like or would like to reach out about a commission, or to say hi, I’d love to hear from you!
