The second series of The Great Pottery Throwdown started last week. I absolutely loved the first series, so have been eagerly keen to tune in every Thursday night at 8pm to watch the new series. Especially as there was a possibility of one of my clocks being shown on the show! Last year, I was […]
It has been almost 2 weeks since I returned from the amazing Blenheim Palace, exhibiting at Living Crafts for Christmas for the second year running. I am very pleased that this years show was even better for me, with lots of my unique handmade pieces being sold to different customers. This has only given me […]
Last month I took part in the 2016 South Northamptonshire Art Trail which was held in a variety of venues, homes and studios across Northamptonshire for 9 days. For the duration of the 9 days, my work was exhibited at The Hayrack Gallery at The Old Dairy Farm & Craft Centre in Upper Stowe. The […]
Larry is my new prop for taking photos, and will be accompanying me to fairs and exhibition as a display prop too. The colours and distressed look of the ladder is very ‘me’, and I think it compliments my work well. Visit my online ceramics shop for more!
In just under a month from now, a selection of my handmade ceramic wedding items will be used for a rustic themed wedding. How exciting!

A couple of months ago, a lady in the USA ordered fifteen of my individually handmade ceramic brooches. The brooches were to give as gifts to the nurses on the Oncology Ward looking after the lady’s husband. I absolutely love hearing how and why my work will be used. It makes what I do even […]
Something super exciting has happened with my ceramic bud vases! A pair of the mint green lace impressed vases suitable for holding short stemmed flowers and buds, have been used for styling an old (but refurbished) German military Comms trailer. The trailer is a new addition to Glamping Thorpe in Oxfordshire, which has been photographed today […]
In 2011 my handmade ceramic plant markers were labelled as ‘Best Buy’ in Amateur Gardening Magazine after being tried and tested. They said: “Stood up to the task brilliantly. They were easy to write on in pencil and slid into the planting medium without fuss. Given their slightly rough finish I thought that the soil might […]
My ‘Winter Branches’ ceramic coasters are featured in the Jan/Feb 2016 edition of LandScape magazine! Since the magazine was released in December, I had so many orders for sets of 4 and 8 of these coasters over the Christmas period which is great news! There is currently a production line full of boards covered in […]
We can’t get enough of Jamie Oliver in our house! His Christmas cooking programmes are practically on repeat, and I thought it was about time I had a go at his ‘new stylee’ mince pies.

Situated in the Vanburgh Pavilion, my stand […]
