Though I'm primarily a thrower (using a potters wheel) I also love the creative freedom of handbuilding. Sometimes I combine both such as in my Hare Handled mugs which I initially made for whimsical fun, not expecting them to be so comfortable to hold. They're now one if my regular makes.
I really enjoy decoration and colour and find that a lot of animals make their way in to my work. Geese, octopusses and whales feature often. As do themes such as landscape and the shipping forecast.
Maybe this watery theme is a reflection of the fact that I live aboard a narrowboat! I'll be selling work later in the year as I travel around the canals of West Yorkshire.
