The tactile and functional everyday object that provokes people’s sense of intimacy and the awareness of touch; my work is held, felt and used in the centre of people’s lives. Forms derive naturally from the making process and impressions of landscape in my mind; my childhood fields in Japan and the South Downs in Sussex, looking across from high vantage points. Glaze colours are developed and derived from nature’s seasons, countryside and memory…


My purpose is to create a group of tabletop objects like a still life or landscape in the domestic environment: in other words, landscape made tangible.
