'The best thing about memories is making them' Anonymous
Moments with loved ones are precious .
In a way that little china set that my parents gave me as a child set me on the road to making cups and saucers for all those dear to me.
The walks with my grandmother collecting wild flowers, has made me eager to create fresh, light and reflective containers.
And a butterfly's gentle landing on a hand, has made me value the delicacy of life, all forms of it.
I truly enjoy the process of creating a piece. From slowly kneading the clay, to forming it by hand on the wheel and etching in the clay designs that capture the crystals of the glaze.
Making work that has a use is the most satisfying things is the world. To share your efforts and to gain a cherished memory is truly gratifying.
When I have the visual form created, I allow the interaction of the elements of fire, earth and water to merge, bind and create a piece that is uniquely distinctive...
I hope though my work that I can share in some of your precious memories.
