As an artist, I specialise in experimental ceramic chemistry…

…I create clay bodies and ceramic glazes from scratch in my studio lab. I work with each materials unique characteristics finding ways to play and push what the material can do. Over the last five years I've created a (growing) library of 375 glazes and 65 clay bodies that demonstrate a wide spectrum of material types from Volcanic Terracotta to Self Forming Porcelain.

Inspiration for my work is my continuing research into the history and future of ceramic materials and how they influence our world.

After completing a Degree in Decorative Arts, where I began to learn glaze chemistry, I moved to London to develop my practice at the Royal College of Art and broaden my materials knowledge into ceramics chemistry. During my graduate year I received The Charlotte Fraiser Prize for this research. I was also graded a distinction for my dissertation paper 'The Role of the Ceramicist in Space Travel'. The text explored points in the history of ceramics and how they inspired the ceramic materials used within the space industry. It also talks about the unexpectedly multidisciplinary team it took to advance ceramics materials for such a purpose, including a pair of potters and a farmer. 

Since graduation in 2017, these research streams have continued academically and practically. I've continued to exhibit my work with institutions such as Christie’s and Saatchi Art Gallery, and as part of group exhibitions with world-renowned artists/designers.

Alongside my practice, I have contributed to several artistic projects as a ceramicist and glaze consultant. I have lectured and taught glaze chemistry at various educational establishments.
