About me
I have always had a love of art which lead me to a career in teaching back in 2007. I teach Art and Design at a local high school alongside running workshops and making pottery from my home studio.
When on maternity leave, I acquired a second hand potter’s wheel and quickly fell in love with all things clay. I found that making pots was the perfect way to wind down after a busy day. Soon enough I took over the house with pots, clay and equipment. I love the slow process of making pottery and the many stages that turn a lump of clay into a finished piece. My work is mostly wheel thrown using white earthenware clay and hand decorated using bright colours and contemporary designs.
My home garden studio was completed in 2020 and provides a beautiful, light and spacious workspace suitable for teaching small groups and producing my own work. Combining my passion for teaching and love of ceramics has created the perfect opportunity to inspire others.
Aptly named ‘Kiln Cottage’ built in 1905 was once the site of a brick works and a large kiln, where bricks were manufactured and fired here in Layham.
