An Irish potter based in Salisbury
The making processes of pottery are what excite me. I challenge myself with seemingly simple yet complex forms and techniques, altering thrown pots and playing with surface decoration. I use traditional techniques, sgraffito and inlay, and paper resist to create patterns with a contemporary feel, embracing the natural imperfections and qualities of the materials.
