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...
