Making and Teaching
I am interested in using materials from close to my home on Dartmoor, Devon. The granite landscape is a source of the clays and minerals which I incorporate into and onto my work.
Location
My Dartmoor studio, seen here in the distance. Inspiration all around; colour, texture, form; history, bronze age to the present, evident in this pared back landscape.
