Working in The Meadows Pottery, Edinburgh, I have been supplying the local community on Edinburgh's Southside with handthrown stoneware since 1988. Now working alongside my partner Junko Shibe, we try to make simple, warm, useful pots that are easy on the eye, well made and comfortable to use.
I enjoy making items to order; anything from a solitary wee cup to special commemorative pieces, full dinner services, gallon-sized teapots or baby hand/footprint tiles.
Although I make a small amount of porcelain, the bulk of our work is high-fired stoneware, fired in an electric kiln, using gentle blues, greens, browns and a creamy oatmeal crystal glaze.
I started potting in 1974, learning from Brian McCombe (time served with Marianne De Trey) at the Salisbury Centre in Edinburgh. I was then taught briefly by John Davey of Bridge of Dee in south-west Scotland. Apart from this I am self-taught. I feel relatively traditional in my outlook, seeing the global history of pottery and potters as a vital source of knowledge and inspiration.
