Colour and surface effects interest me, but strong form and construction are the underlying challenges of my work.  Functional & ornamental teapots have featured in the past year and similar surfaces and colours are planned for new forms.  Techniques such as beer firing, raku and pit firing bring back the excitement to the final stage of my work and I enjoy exploring their impact on my surfaces.

Studied Ceramic Design at the Joburg Art College in the 70’s.  Inspired by workshops attended at La Meridiana Ceramic school in Tuscany presented by Lucianne La Salle and Susan Nemith in 2009 covering Sculpting the Human Form and Inlaid Porcelain respectively.

Currently run a teaching studio in Bryanston that offers specialised ceramic workshops, corporate teambuilding workshops and sculpture workshops run by professional ceramists.
