Three Peaks schools
I am privileged to live and run my pottery business nestled in the landscape of the Yorkshire Dales Three Peaks. The landscape's subtle colours, varied flora and incredible farming community inspire my work, from the pressed plants that I use, the natural glazes that I create and even the real Swaledale fleece applied to some of my makes. My pottery is truly 'made of this place'.
I am an accidental potter. I studied Spanish and Intercultural Studies for my undergraduate degree and Rural Development for my Masters, really not pottery! I took a beginners course in ceramics at the end of my undergraduate degree in 2005, and fell in love with the art. Following that introduction, I made use of every opportunity to practice pottery, learn from the masters and improve my skills... in northern Japan, in the backwoods of New York State, in Yorkshire. Following the birth of our first daughter, and thanks to the support and encouragement of my husband, in 2015 I started a pottery of my own!
I am a proud member of the Heritage Crafts Association, which is dedicated to supporting and promoting traditional living heritage crafts and recognised by UNESCO Convention for Intangible Heritage.
In all my work and in all I do and with all my heart... 'Yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.'
Isaiah 64:8
