I tinkered with ceramics as the three
dimensional element of art A-level many years ago. On
returning to ceramics some ten years ago I started to produce figurative clay sculptures.

Inevitably
with the acquisition of a kiln and with clay supplies around me I was drawn towards the
ceramic vessel. The plastic properties of the
material allow me to experiment with forms and shapes.
I handbuild with coils and sometimes slabs to produce large pots using
various geometric shapes. I prefer to use
simple glazes which allow the method of construction to be apparent. |

My
figurative sculptures are taken from life. The
example shown of three girls is in fired crank clay and was a recent commission. I will, if required, produce moulds and cast work
in various metal resins. |
