My workshop is in Heathcote East bordering the Royal National Park where I produce glazed stoneware and porcelain and unglazed coloured porcelain pieces. Copper red glazes have fascinated me for years and unlike other glazes, I have never become bored or uninterested as I never feel I really have it under control.

I walk the bush most days and this influences my use of coloured porcelain, particularly the agate pots - some based on the snow gums of Kosciuszko and others showing the devastation of the 1994 bushfires so close to home.
 

The polished porcelain bowl entered in the 'Belie of the Bowl' competition is a change of direction as I have rarely made really fine delicate work before. The clay is polished with various grades of emery and a clear glaze is applied to the area being lustred, it is then fired to cone 10 bending, then polished again, and the lustre is applied and fired.

I belong to the Inner City Clayworkers Gallery Co-op, and I am an exhibiting Member of the Potters Society of Australia.
