It has been common to describe craft’s position as a borderline area between fine art and design. I prefer to call this area an ‘intervening space’ or, to be more precise, the space between function and non-function, tradition and breaking with tradition,...

My work is made to reflect comfort and the personal, when eating and drinking. In most cultures there has always been a cloak of convoluted rituals involved in dining to test each others socialization and civility. How we make utilitarian wares is centered around...

The colours of Cornwall are recorded throughout art history as holding particular warmth and radiance, as being mysteriously heightened by a brilliant quality of light called over from the Atlantic sea. It is fascinating how the different levels of sunlight can change...

My work focuses on the use of surface: through decoration and functional choices alike, we communicate meaning to both ourselves and to others - my medium of choice is ceramics, but more specifically porcelain, for its challenging nature. I believe that if one aims to...
