I am a studio potter based in the North-East Cairngorms of Scotland, creating pieces of functional ceramics inspired by the peaceful beauty of the natural world.

After being accepted into the 2024-2026 two-year intensive Clay College course, I have been professionally trained in technical skills and a historical understanding of pottery. I am deeply grateful for this transformative time.

Finding myself most inspired and at peace in nature, it was only natural that I found a similar passion in clay. I aim for my work to echo the feeling of the natural world, one that is subtle yet awe-inspiring, soft yet strong, calm yet wild.

My work takes form in thrown functional ware, with pieces that are made to be quietly present in your home, used, and held. When making, I tend to have a purpose in mind for the forms I create; however, I enjoy thinking about how this may transform into something different for the user, and how they might intend to use it. I find this to be a transitional link between the maker, the pot, and the user.

Although having spent a large majority of my life in Oxfordshire, I also grew up in Kelowna, Canada, which instilled in me a deep love of nature since a young age. Now based in the Scottish Highlands, I find the rugged landscape similarly captivating, and it remains a source of inspiration, a place of solace, and a connection that fuels the creative nature of pottery.

I look forward to continuing to make in my home studio and sharing my work with you all.
