My Journey in Pottery
With over two decades of hands-on practice, I have developed a deep understanding of clay, glazes, and firing techniques. My specializations include wheel-throwing, hand-building, and surface decoration. Teaching has become a central part of my work, allowing me to share this knowledge with aspiring potters. I believe in a structured approach that emphasises process and creativity, helping students build their own skills and confidence.
