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.

In 2001 I decided to make a career change and take up Art and Pottery. Since then I have been to college and have graduated from both James Watt College and Cardonald College in Art and Design and also in Pottery and Ceramics. In January 2005 I began working for myself and "Firing Your Imagination" was born.
Although my main work is tableware, I also very much enjoy sculpting and painting. This gives me an all round ability which I like to incorporate into my work. Often my work will be a combination of a thrown piece but with sculpted add-ons. I often incorporate landscapes into my work thereby taking advantage of my painting and pottery training.
At present I am working from home, carry out commissions and show my work at Craft Fayres. I believe that bespoke commissions will be a major part of my work in the future so please contact me to discuss your project.
My new web site is up and running so I hope you can pay a visit.
