My pots range from simple functional tableware for daily use at home, to one off sculptural pieces for gallery settings and interior interventions. All of my work is made on the potter's wheel, the tool at the centre of my practice and ethos.
I am currently a Doctoral Research Associate at Cardiff School of Art and Design, undertaking practice led PhD research that explores fine arts relationship with functional objects and pottery as a form of abstract sculpture.
I graduated from CSAD’s Artist Designer: Maker program in 2018 and from their Master of Research in Art & Design program in 2019. Making functional pots and one off artefacts remains at the centre of my practice and research as I strive to be a better crafts-person and learn more about the art form that my life revolves around.
