About me

I'm fortunate to have a cozy pottery studio in East Langdon, nestled between Deal and Dover. Here, I offer pottery workshops, including wheel throwing, hand-building, sessions for beginners and improvers, as well as tasters and regular classes. I also find time to create my own pottery and sculptures, which I sell online and at various events, such as Christmas fairs and, more recently, the East Kent Ploughing Match—a fantastic event.

Like many others, I used to dabble in different crafts, diving into one project, creating a few pieces, then quickly moving on to the next idea. This “jack of all trades” approach was fun but often left me searching for something I could fully immerse myself in without getting bored. That all changed when I received a short pottery course as a gift many years ago. It sparked a passion in me that still fuels my work today. Now, I’m delighted to offer people who have never touched clay the chance to create, unwind, and leave my cozy studio feeling accomplished—a priceless experience that’s at the heart of every pottery session.

My pottery journey is constantly evolving. I still resist repetitive production—making no more than six or seven pieces of any one design—and I’m always coming up with new ideas, often inspired by those early-morning thoughts that pop into my head. The beauty of working with clay is that I never get bored; as I tell anyone who comes here, if you can imagine it, there’s a way to make it. I’m always up for a creative challenge!

If you've read this far without your mind drifting to shopping lists or to-dos, and you're curious to experience the joy of working with clay, or even just to visit the studio, feel free to reach out.
