Ceramics handmade in Stratford upon Avon

Functional handmade pottery

Alongside my full time teaching job (I teach maths!) and online website where I’ve been known to blog a little, I have a home studio where I potter about … I’m currently working with a particular type of Scandi grey stoneware clay and a blue rutile glaze which gives my work a contemporary feel while still retaining that all important hand made feel and look.

In addition to standard dinnerware items (like plates and bowls etc) I also make one off items, based around specific ideas that will be released for sale, maybe two or three times a year.

Check out my blog posts (coming soon) for more information about the processes that each item goes through to get to the final product and also look out for details about my next “shop drop”

Next “shop drop” is due at 7 pm on 25th October 2025 (I’ll be uploading items so you can browse them but they’ll show as sold out).
