Overview

I trained at the Mid Warwick School of Art in the 60’s and then worked as a Prop Maker for the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Company, Stratford on Avon for six years.    Marriage and family came next, and then in 1990 I was able to do an evening class in ceramics, I was soon hooked.   I started painting with under glazes onto fine white stoneware fired in an electric kiln.  Whilst living in St.Albans I made bowls and jugs, which I sold in the Cathedral craft shop, inspired by the embroidered wild flowers on the awning over St.Alban’s shrine.   I am now experimenting with wax resist and lustres.

We moved to Birdham in 2003 and during the move I was unable to make pots, so I began painting in watercolours.  This has proved to be both enjoyable and successful. It is a pleasure to try and capture the atmosphere of the local scenery particularly the Sea and Sky.   I now find I am painting and potting, the one medium influencing the other.
