I started pottery at a young age but trained and worked as a scientist before starting my pottery business. While working as a scientific researcher, I lived in the USA and Japan, where I also found pottery inspiration in my spare time. After having children, I started my own studio and now work there full time as well as writing books on pottery. My latest book called Colour in Glazes includes my own glazes as well as those of Lucy Burley and Lok Ming Fung, both on Seek and Adore.
