Working in both Ceramics and Glass enables me to exploit the similarities between the two media whilst celebrating their quite different qualities.

Most of my work concentrates on the development of vessel forms. In glass, these are shallow and open, whilst in ceramics I tend to produce a more complex, vertical emphasis. In both media, the forms are conceived as vehicles for surface design. The strongly asymmetric ceramic vessels have their surfaces punctuated by dramatic designs using a variety of coloured glazes. The glass dishes are completed with iridescent polychrome designs, which exploit the translucency of the medium.
