After travelling in Africa, India, Japan and Korea for ten years, I arrived back in England in 1982 and converted a toll house into a studio in Bath.  Since then I have developed my thoughts and ideas using many techniques and methods learnt on my travels.  By building up layers of textured clay combined with burnishing and polishing surfaces, I try to achieve opposites of rough and smooth.  Recently I have been working on large scale ceramic forms which I have placed in the landscape.
