I'm a ceramicist/designer from Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. I make mainly functional vessels out of clay. My preferred clay is porcelain, though I have a great stoneware that I dig from a nearby clay seam. I enjoy formulating my own glaze and clay bodies and try to keep the ingredients as local as possible.
Working with Australian materials and developing new glazes from local minerals is a large part of my work. Much of my inspiration comes from local indigenous flora.
My studio garden is full to the brim with indigenous plants. It's the inspiration for many of my glazes especially the khaki slip I use on the rims of some of my vessels. It, along with the nearby Whipstick forest is also the reason I endeavour to add a landscape to my reduction fired vessels.
