I am a recent graduate of Grays’s School of Art in Aberdeen where I gained a BA Hons degree in 3D Design and Ceramics and I am currently based in Glasgow. My work is inspired by colours and patterns found in nature, architecture and retro interiors.
With the vast increase in mental health issues in our society today, I believe that involving more colour and nature into our lives can be incredibly beneficial to our well-being. I love to create beautiful colourful ceramics that are overflowing with pattern and texture to help us be more aware of our environment and bring more joy into our everyday lives.
I specialise in slip casting using different coloured parian slip which is poured in and out of the mould in thin layers. These are then carved by hand to reveal those different layers before being bisque fired.
Once fired they are sanded and put in for their final high firing, which makes the colours and layer brighter. Carving is my favourite part of my process because it allows me to add more a personal, unique and handcrafted element to my work and I find the process very calming and mindful.
