I have always been a maker. In 2016 I reconnected with clay and in 2021 took a one-day workshop on naked raku, there I found my new direction.
I make decorative vases and vessels with lids. Naked raku embeds carbon in the surface of the pot. Patterns are created by how the fragile slip, applied to the piece, cracks in the firing. The process is a dance with uncertainty. I play with form and carbon patterning with that uncertainty.
My working life has been varied: art management opportunities including being the Resident Director of an artist colony. I trained as a landscape architect and worked as an environmental planner for a number of years. For an article about my ceramic life click here.
