At the moment my work is mainly functional kitchenware. 

I believe that eating should be definitely nutritious, mostly healthy but always fun and I hope that whatever you choose to eat or drink, my crockery always makes you smile.

 

To create my pots I throw stoneware clay, on the potters wheel and use high firing glazes in a reduction atmosphere to create beautiful, exciting finishes.

 

The unpredictable nature of the gas kiln, enables me to be constantly excited by the serendipity of the end results.  Even when you believe each firing process to be identical, just a small change in the environment can create a difference in the finish of the glaze, thus ensuring that every single piece is unique - magic!

 

The pottery is fired to 1300'

Therefore it is able to withstand being used in the oven, dishwasher and microwave.

 

However, it doesn't like to go from cold to hot really quickly, so I would advise to start with the oven cold and never use on cooker hobs or on any source of direct heat.
