Ceramic Design

I design contemporary ceramics for a range of uses from tableware to lighting, using traditional modelling and slipcasting techniques.

Designing for fine bone china

I specialise in working with fine bone china, a material that brings its own technical challenges and limitations. My designs are brought to production using the traditional technique of slipcasting from a handmade model. Understanding the characteristics of fine bone china is vital, and must be taken into account during the design process.

I also have experience with porcelain, stoneware and earthenware clay.

Each piece I create is crafted with precision and care, showcasing my dedication to the art of ceramic design.
