I design and produce my own ceramics and currently work at the Glasgow Ceramic Studio at WASPS in Glasgow, Scotland. I take inspiration from the water - west of Scotland seascapes and horizons, nature and energy flow and light. I like to create tactile pieces with a combination of textures including dry matt effects, contrasting enamels glossy and abstract glazing, and I use a range of finishes to bring out the individual characteristics of the design in my ceramics
My favourite techniques include slab building, layering, and tearing, and many pieces feature a combination of these to achieve a particular look or style. I am fascinated with the diversity of clay.

I first got excited about pottery at an evening class in Ashbourne. After that I moved to California for a couple of years where I learned more in the Clay Digs studio in Santa Cruz and the Mother Earth studio in Sunnyvale. I was very inspired by the effects of fire while helping fire a noborigama kiln in the Napa Valley and pit firing on the beach with Molly Prier at Point Reyes. Now back in Scotland and the new secretary of the SPA, I continue making pottery in my spare time.

Northumbrian craft pottery was established in 1987, it is a partnership between Andrew M. Harding and Michael Palmer who are keen throwers and have a passion for reduced fired stoneware. For many years they have specialised in sprigs for promotional and tourist outlets, and have developed numerous ranges of domestic ware, which are dishwasher and oven proof.
The latest range is in a copper red glaze on a white stoneware body; giving some amazing result’s. Colour’s have ranged from deep red fading to white or the red may vanish altogether or turn a muddy brown. They are currently in the process of developing new ranges and individually designed pieces in different materials, such as porcelain, which hopefully will be better suited to one off commissions and pieces for gallery’s and exhibitions .

Vessels are handbuilt using coils in both earthenware and stoneware clays. The designs, colours and organic nature of the forms are inspired by a life-long bond with the sea...in Bermuda where I was born and in northeast Scotland where I now live. Sizes range from 20 to 45cm in height.
The assemblage pieces reflect an interest in Aboriginal cultural art and are made with rolled clay decorated with metal oxides. Free-mounted or sandstone grouted fragments are brought together to form a picture.
