Welcome to my web site.

I started making pottery 41 years ago and I've been earning my living as a potter for the past 35 years. The work that I make is mostly functional stoneware, but I don't have a set line of work that is made on a production basis. I prefer to let forms and surfaces develop and evolve from firing to firing. I hope you'll find some interesting images and informative text.

I like a lively, colourful surface on my work and I spend a fair bit of time doing glaze research to find new, interesting glazes to work with.

This wheel thrown stoneware jar stands about 34 cm tall. It was fired to cone ten reduction, and it has copper glazes on the outside, plus a black glaze convection pattern, and a post firing application of 23k gold leaf.

This piece is available at Jonathon Bancroft-Snell Gallery.

This stoneware vase stands about 27 cm tall, and was made through a combination of assembled thrown parts. It has two different copper glazes on the outside, plus black accents on the rim and feet.

This vase has a design inspired by convection patterns in liquids. The thrown and altered stoneware form had the darker, bronzy glaze brushed on before the high temperature firing. The 23k gold leaf was applied post firing. This piece stands about 43 cm tall.

This stoneware jar stands about 30 cm tall. It was made through a combination of hand building and altered thrown parts. It was fired to cone ten reduction, and has a sprayed spodumene based glaze. I like the challenge of working out the form relationships of sculptural work.
