About Me

I moved to South Wales in 2002 and set up a studio and workshop.

My work is currently sold mostly in Wales, and also in Bristol and London. I also sell at various events throughout the year where I value getting to meet my customers.

I have posted examples of my current work. Feel free to contact me if you would like any information or wish to discuss a commission.

Based near Swansea I enjoy dog walking up in the mountains and at the coast on Gower and camping in Pembrokeshire.

Dwi wedi bod yn dysgu Cymraeg ers symud i Cymru. Felle os i ni cwrdd gyda'ch gilydd - siaradwch yn cymraeg! Doilch am edrych ar fy we fan fi.

(translation) I have been learning Welsh since moving to Wales. So if we meet - talk in Welsh !

Thanks for looking through my web site.

What I do

As a potter, living and working in south Wales, UK, I mainly produce work for sale in galleries and some craft shops, across the UK.

I have worked with local support groups to run ceramics activity days for children and also taught adults.

You may also have seen me teaching the singer Margaret Williams to throw a pot for the t.v programme - Priodas Fawr.

I often take my 'Shimpo' electric wheel to craft events and soon become booked up helping people to 'throw' a pot.

I sell at many events thoughout the year, including the Tredegar house ceramics show, the Royal Welsh Show, the Eisteddfod, and others.

I have provided activities in schools for time limited projects.

Occasionally I am asked to demonstrate and discuss ceramics for local interest groups etc.
