Born in Worcestershire, England.

Having first discovered clay and the potters wheel at school, aged eleven, it was

this early introduction that triggered my ambition to become a potter.

 

I have been potting full-time since leaving school at sixteen. After serving

an apprenticeship as a production thrower at the Guernsey Pottery, Channel Islands, I returned to Worcestershire in 1987 and set up my first professional studio.

 

In 2004 I moved to Normandy, France with my wife and young family, establishing a new studio where I worked from until 2012. We have now returned to the UK, living and working in rural Herefordshire.

​

The majority of my work is thrown on the potters wheel. I use both stoneware and porcelain clay bodies. My pots are decorated with traditional high-fired Far Eastern glazes including chun, tenmoku, celadon and copper red, reduction fired in a gas kiln to 1300° C.
