I graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 2001.
I established my ceramics studio at the prestigious Cockpit Arts London the following year, where I still design and hand craft my beautifully intricate ceramic artefacts.
My work ranges from hand crafted bespoke work to design for manufacture and batch production.
My clients have included Kevin McCloud, Molton Brown, Kelly Hoppen, Aveda, Liberty, Fortnum and Mason and the Southbank Centre.
My work has been well received and represented by the media and the press, my work was recently featured in ‘Breaking the Mould’ a new contemporary ceramics book published by Black Dog Publishing.
I also won Best Dressed Stand @ PULSE 08 for my innovative display and collection of ceramics, textiles and gifts. My most recent achievement was winning the runner up prize for the Export Award at Origin 2009 creating a fantastic opportunity for me to lunch my collection in Milan 2010.
60 second interview
Q: What is your favourite colour?A: GreyQ: Who first inspired you to start making/ creating and what words of advice did they give you?A: A few years ago I was sorting through my old school stuff and I found a notebook from when I was 10 years old. I came across a page, which asked the question; what do you want to be when you grow up? My answer came as a bit of a shock as I had totally forgotten about it, it said in big letters that I wanted to be a potter and there was an old-fashioned vase drawing to illustrate it. Then I remembered that I used to go to Saturday pottery classes with my mum and sister and my teacher saying that I had a great eye for detail with a real passion for making. Q: Where and when do you most like to work?A: I love my studio space at Cockpit Arts, especially when it is all neat and tidy. (Downside of using clay – mess!!!)
The biggest issue I have is that when I start making I cant stop and sometimes I do a 10-hour day because I am so excited about making a new piece. Q: Which season of the year most inspires you?A: SpringQ: What can't you work without?A: This is going to sound really silly, it doesn’t matter if I am in the studio making or in the office designing or doing paperwork I always have to have a cup of tea next to me. Q: Whose work do you most admire?A: I can appreciate a wide spectrum of creative talent/work varying from famous artists and designers to up and coming makers. Q: What is your favourite piece of fiction and why?A: I like detail, mystery and problem solving and for me there is only one person who satisfies all these elements, the queen of crime Agatha Christie.
Q: What do you do to relax?A: Do artists ever relax?
I do enjoy disappearing to the countryside for the day with my husband and little boy. Q: Describe your artistic style in 3 words. A: Detail
