I started out as a painter at the Slade in London, but always had an interest in ceramics, spending some time at the Chelsea Pottery before taking up medicine. On moving to South Wales, I went to ceramics classes at Swansea University and managed to combine some time for ceramics with medicine. Since retiring I have been making wall plaques - ‘ceramic pictures’- recently a series inspired Gower and the wild creatures that share it with us.
After modelling the piece in clay, I make a plaster mould and slip cast a small number of replicas – usually only four or five. These are decorated in various ways by glazing or, in a novel technique, by combining fusing glass with porcelain, so each piece is unique.
I’d love to welcome you to my studio during Gower Open Studios or at other times by arrangement.
