Based in Flowerfield Arts Centre on the Causeway coast I continue to develop my one-off pots, and a new range of functional works in Porcelain.

I make functional pots and expressive vessels using stoneware and Porcelain clay, fired in a wood or gas kiln.

My approach is to think of the potter’s wheel as a creative tool and the clay surface as a three-dimensional canvas.

I interact strongly with the clay, making marks on the surfaces while they are still wet, deliberately misshaping the vessels.

All of the decoration is spontaneous, a unique fusion of skill and chance – freedom of expression, within necessary boundaries.
