I studied ceramics at Bath Academy of Arts (1981-84), where I gained a BA(hons) degree. My work is hand-coiled, burnished and smoke-fired, using a mixture of T material and porcelain.

The inspiration behind my work derives from African culture; the human form in particular providing a basic working model. I also produce a range of hand-painted earthenware tiles, bowls and platters, which are decorated using slips and various coloured glazes.
