my favourite garden at Chelsea...

June 2010

Thank you to the trendsblog and chocolatecreative blogspot for their generous reviews of our show at Grand Designs in Excel in London, (linked in the publications section and Links). It was quite an experience to be there and we met some great people exhibiting their fantastic work. Work is now in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, An Lanntair in Stornaway in the Isle of Lewis and Panik gallery in Killearn. I was at the opening show in Killearn and it was lovely to meet artists and the lovely people who bought my work.
I also had a fantastic time at The Chelsea Flower show managing to fit in a trip down Portabello Road and Camden Market!
Its also great to see the progress of events on face book of the Made By Hand exhibition in Newport in December, we will be exhibiting under studio at 37, www.madebyhand-wales.co.uk. I am currently working on some work for summer exhibitions but hope to fit in a break in July!

The positive experience of using and enjoying beautiful ceramics in everyday life activities drives me to design and create. The drawing and designs are developed from things in my everyday. By allowing the drawing to integrate with each technique, slip-casting, hand-building and throwing, sharp and blurred images and edges, focussed and unfocussed moments are created allowing for a fresh feel to the designs. The colour can be vibrant yet subtle, clear and still then moving speedily through. The shiny and matt surfaces illustrate the beauty of the material and the clarity of the ceramic result.

These pieces combine form, colour and pattern with the intention of exploring the space where ideas and places move into objects each conveying their own moments of clarity.
