In the heart of the Gers, just south of Mirande, I’ll once again be holding a special pre-Christmas open workshop day, and this year’s event promises to be particularly enjoyable. Although my studio is normally open to visitors by appointment (a quick call or email is always appreciated), this open day is a relaxed opportunity [...]
There have been some important updates to my retail website, and my award-winning Ambit porcelain collection is now stocked and shipped directly from France. This means much simpler, faster delivery across Europe, and if you’d like gift wrapping or a personal note included with your order, this is now easily arranged. The site has also [...]

Newly available to my UK website customers is my Colourpop wheel thrown collection. A collection made up of a two sizes of salad bowl and three shapes and sizes of my distinctive cylindrical jugs.

Top Drawer this February felt like a really significant show. We’d missed 2021 because it was cancelled (like so much) due to Covid. So there was a lot of new developments to shout about. In my studio collection, Colour-pop felt like a major shift. I’ve found using unglazed porcelain slips to achieve vibrant colour bands [...]
I’ve really jumped out of my comfort zone this spring and have set up a YouTube channel. Before COVID, regularly showing at trade fairs enabled me to meet the galleries and shops who stock my work - this last year they were all cancelled. In January, Top Drawer on Demand, became the online version of [...]
I’m really delighted to be working with three new shops and galleries this spring. Please take a look at the beautiful Green Gallery in Stirlingshire. In an odd symmetry, they’ve been established for about the same length of time that I’ve been here in France! Much further south you’ll find The Parlour Lavenham. From fabulous [...]
