My love of pottery has always been present as an illustrator and has seen me dabbling in and out making various bits over the years. 2023 saw me purchase a small kiln which has allowed me to develop and experiment with techniques and different processes.

For this series of tiles I have created paper cut stencils from pencil illustrations which are then applied to my hand made tiles with slip.

I have taken inspiration from all the things I love, my favourite foods, my children, nature, shape & patterns, space and ancient history. I have found this process to be very liberating!
