dei ceramics work & inspiration My work is a celebration of my love for flowers, landscapes, textiles, nature and found objects. I am influenced by the landscape and surroundings of my home and garden in Rutland and beaches in East of England, Wales and Cornwall and produce- Nature printed ceramics Wall Plaques and mini sculptures Outdoor sculptures Organic bonsai pots A large proportion of my work is decorated using nature printing or general printing techniques and often stained to enhance the detail. My quirky wall plaques/wall hangings and mini sculptures are influenced by naive art and the work of Alfred Wallis and John Maltby.   My frost-hardy outdoor sculptures tend to have simple strong lines and a distinctive style that add interest to a garden, especially when set against dark foliage or positioned on hard surfaces.   I handmade organic bonsai pots. Each is unique with no two identical- perfectly imperfect - is how I like to think of them.   Techniques & materials I use stoneware and occasionally porcelain paper clay. Everything is slab-built or carved and sometimes finished on the wheel. Outdoor pots and sculpture are all kiln fired to 1250-1270C to make them frost-hardy. Indoor items are kiln fired to 1220 - 1250C depending on their finish.   Membership I am a member of the Anglian Potters, the Nature Printing Society, Northamptonshire and Rutland Open Studio (NROS), and Peterborough Artists Open Studios (PAOS).   PAOS 2025 I and dei ceramics will be on display at Rene Viner's studio (RenĂ© Viner - Peterborough Artists Open Studios %) and garden on 28/29th June, together with Petra Wrights functional ceramics. 5/6 and 12/13 June I will be in my studio/garden in Ketton, Rutland.
