A sudden, stress induced, cardiac arrest gave me an opportunity I hadn't expected at 31, an opportunity to re-assess and re-start my life, in the certain knowledge that life is fleeting, and nothing is given. I chose a career in art, leaving an unfinished PhD in medical statistics behind. 

​

I started out as a traditional potter, making functional ware & offering classes covering beginner pottery skills. I now run a visual arts studio in Lancaster and spend my time exploring my own artistic practice alongside commissions and teaching. I love to create bespoke experiences: one to one sessions and private workshops for groups. I also run a regular Saturday morning group which anyone can come along to. We're a friendly group and love to welcome new faces.

 

My own creative work focuses on sculpture, with a bit of print and poetry thrown in. I use a range of materials in my own practice, including home grown natural fibres and found objects, but specialise in ceramics and enjoy the tactile nature of clay.
