Working in clay, for me, is both a passion and a deeply theraputic process. Suffering from long term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after having served as a Paramedic in the Parachute regiment of the French Foreign Legion for six years. During this time I was to see...
Porcelain has been used for centuries for its unique properties. It is fine, delicate, vulnerable and retains evidence of each interaction made with it, fixing a moment in time, documenting a history, the life of the clay. My forms exploit this capacity, finding...
My work displays ambiguous forms that express the human figure, mimicking the subtle movements gestured between bodies capturing connections within intimate moments. These movements displayed by the sensual ceramic forms combined with the composition of the ceramic...
A family is made up of individuals: parents, children, siblings who come together to make a whole. Belonging to a group can bring a sense of cohesion and unity, but individuality cannot be ignored. I believe the same is true for the ceramics used within a home,...
My work is a celebration of transculturation and interculturation between Malay, Pakistani and Western culture. Through my practice I hope to represent audiences who are mixed raced, those who are in a minority, and those who are experiencing racial ambiguity, to...
Space, we move through it every day. We travel from destination to destination chasing our latest objective, most of the time hardly considering where we are beyond how to get to where we need to go. Everything we can perceive exists within space yet we often consider...
The materiality of clay and the alchemy of minerals are intrinsic properties of the earth often unseen by the naked eye. I choose processes that capture the energy of transformation. Whether first in plaster, second with high end porcelain slip or thirdly by giving a...
There is beauty in transferability, in creating a design so simplistic and efficient that it can be adapted to serve multiple functions. Adaptability is essential to my practice. I batch produce pieces, through use of plaster moulds and slip casting, that can be...
I believe that ceramics is an undervalued material. As humans we have forged a relationship with ceramics for thousands of years and yet we somehow take it for granted. We are constantly in contact with plates, cups, bowls, etc. but we never pay these objects enough...
We often look at objects and perceive them as static, but it doesnt take much to shift that perception enabling us to transform the regular and mundane into something else. In order to try and come to better terms with what we experience we need a starting point from...
The landscape contains a particular spirit that is shaped by those who interact with it. The same is true of the making process, with clay responding to the intent and knowledge of the makers hands. A harmony can be found, a meditative connection reached in both...
The stacked tea bowls pose a contradiction between function and sculpture, referencing human interaction and the more compositional concerns of weight, shape, form and balance. The consequence of this is a sense of unpredictability, of familiar objects moving into and...
The ethos of my work is to celebrate a pure minimalist design, to reveal the essential beauty of qualities and values that exist in our architecture and products. It is a beauty derived from a balance of elements that help us feel centred, with the capacity to create...
My practice stems from a motivation to understand the thrown form. Through a cyclic process of fracturing and reconstructing I hope to achieve an instinctive understanding not of the process of throwing but of the forms that result from this method of making. My...
My work explores the balance between function and ornamentation. Whilst ceramics is often associated with utility, our tactile interaction with their properties can enable a story to be told; a sense of time can be captured through movement in glaze, sense states...
Living in utilitarian buildings, inhabitants can tend to act passively with their surroundings. My interest lies in reactivating our early human lives and a more intimate interaction with the environment. I am fascinated by the primitive quality of the ancient objects...

The fetishisation of food has become a hugely important aspect of my practice. The playful and flirtatious nature of eating on camera for an audience to document the sexualised reactions has developed from paintings of a "sexual" emoji fruit machine into a grotesque...
When I make, I am powered by my love of animals and my love of cuddly things, with the goal of creating something that will give me, my client, and any other wearers or viewers a spark of joy. For the wearer, I strive for comfort, through features such as soft...
The body of work is an exploration into various manufacturing processes and materials used to represent the form of the human hand. These hands are informed by the materiality of the process used with the abstracted forms expressing the materials themselves. The...
My piece is based on the chairs awarded during the Eisteddfod ‘Chairing of the Bard’ ceremony. I incorporated imagery from the Mabinogion stories, particularly animals, to create a piece based on welsh folklore with a message of preserving our ancient connection to...
I believe that the world can be too complex and that there is definitive beauty in simplicity and minimalism. I feel that minimalistic designs positively affect our mental wellbeing. The ethos of my work is to show that contemporary design can occasionally be too...
My practice is rooted in combining sound, experience and objects. The aim of my work is to stimulate senses other than the visual by creating interactive objects that enable people to be both actor and receptor in an experience of resonant sound. Translating these...
I am a multidisciplinary artist, photographer and maker. One thing which attracts me on art and design is turning the objects and their meaning around - making a new use for items that have been wasted, thinking about alternative solutions and possibilities for a...
My practice is focused on fostering an appreciation of true craftsmanship while celebrating the natural qualities of wood. My aim for these pieces was to showcase my skills; both within design and making, as both aspects are essential for effective and innovative...
The beach of bricks and mortar is a result of Cardiff’s industrial revolution. The beach in the city that found it’s glory in the coal and carbon industries. Industries that ran the dross out into the ocean. Splott Beach holds an archive of materials that have been...
My art practice involves photography, drawing, and ceramics. From a young age, Photography has allowed me to document my everyday life, taking pictures of my friends as we grew up, and depicting the struggles and joys along the way. My drawings have been a way of...
Our over exposure to common objects results in us viewing them in a synecdochic fashion. We disregard the complex nature of objects, our overuse of them obfuscates their identity, hindering our appreciation of them, limiting our experience of them. We don’t see a bowl...
Ethically sourced materials worked with traditional tools and techniques. Throughout my work I seek to create objects that are functional, beautiful and sustainable with a modern aesthetic that appeals to the contemporary consumer. At the same time, I love gathering...
Over the years, as a society, we have lost touch with what it means to have nurturing bonds and longevity with our belongings. Caught in a wave of disposability, and cheap manufacture, our modern lifestyles are having a detrimental effect on the environment. There is...
I believe in finding beauty in the irregularity of nature, the endless possibilities of life show us that nothing is impossible. I use clay for its ability to be malleable enough that it can be manipulated into the shapes inside my mind and through heat become strong...
This body of work looks deeply into the subtlety of colour through material, and how using luxury materials, such as porcelain, I can create delicate work with the overarching theme of yonic informing my ceramic practice. To create my forms I used a simple finger...
I believe that we all have a responsibility towards the world we live in, and that we need to open our eyes to the natural magic that surrounds us every day. My work, through fictional character design and storytelling, aims to bring forward a loving awareness of the...
This collection is made from what many see as construction materials – plywood and concrete. The arrangement of these materials to create furniture allows viewers to see them in a new light. The patterns incorporated are inspired by the industrial landscape of my...
My journey over the past few months of this project has been to submerge myself into the world of surface Pattern. I’ve had to learn the process from start to finish and find my own sense of style when it came to create my prints. I have learnt a lot over the past few...
In a fast-paced world where we are all constantly on the go, with barely enough time to stop and think, we overlook things, miss things and things go unnoticed. It is now more important than ever to give ourselves spaces to pause and time to breathe. My work invites...
