Artists Statement

"Much of my work is inspired by Japanese studio pottery. This was given impetus by a trip to Japan in 2019 including visits to three important pottery areas, Tamba, Bizen and Mashiko – where we were lucky enough to be shown round the museum/former workshop of my great hero Shoji Hamada by his grandson Tomoo Hamada.

Having built a large wood burning kiln during the Covid lockdown of 2020 I am now concentrating on wood fired stoneware."
