Coming soon...My new book will be published by Crowood Press later in September 2026.
Here's the blurb: This book offers a unique opportunity to gain technical, practical and professional insights from leading international ceramic practitioners, inviting readers into their studios to understand the realities of daily practice. Organised around 20 accessible themes, it addresses topics ranging from sources of inspiration and studio routines to firing techniques and the development of resilience within a ceramics career. Honest and grounded in professional experience, the book considers both the rewards and the challenges of sustained practice, and serves as a thoughtful companion for makers at all stages of their ceramic journey. |

It was a pleasure to be a "Visiting Artist Fellow" at Bath Spa University, Locksbrook Campus, from September 2024 until February 2025 and later on from June to August 2025.
In exchange for a workspace amongst the 3rd year Creative Arts Practice students and access to the facilities, I delivered talks, workshops and tutorials. |
The time & space facilitated the start of a new body of work at a much larger scale and enabled me to enjoy being part of a creative community.
