Open Studio May 2nd + 3rd 2026
You are warmly invited to my Spring Open Studio, part of the Larkhall Festival in Bath on May Bank Holiday weekend. There are gorgeous gardens to explore, fabulous printmakers to admire, and I shall be sharing my new ceramic collection “Marking Time”. This family of work is focused on vessels that celebrate the small, daily repetitions of breakfast or dinner, as well as the bigger collective rituals where we come together and celebrate with food and flowers. Each piece is designed and made to draw us into the present, to savour the moment. Marking time.
It’s been a few years since I first fell in love with a potter’s wheel and I’m still learning, exploring and growing. Honing technique and aesthetic judgement to make work that is meaningful is not an easy journey, but it is a thrilling one. Do come and visit, nose around and explore the studio and the garden…

Marking Time
As an antidote to our constant flight towards the ‘next thing’, I’ve been exploring what it takes to anchor us in the present. This idea of marking time is to celebrate the now and bring our attention inwards. Throwing double curves, exaggerating rims, curling lips, sharpening shoulders, all require my total concentration on the wheel. These small moments of exaggeration and excess are so many invitations to you to linger in the moment, to feel the form, the texture, and perhaps to pause, feel the weight, the balance, and hold with two hands.
