Painting with minerals and fire

As a ceramic artist, I am largely self-taught, starting pottery as a hobby in evening classes over 30 years ago. 10 years ago I decided to turn my hobby into a full-time profession.

My work is mostly thrown on the potters-wheel and then shaped.

I use white stoneware clay, which can be fired to high temperatures and allows the colours of the glazes to come through.
All work is fired to 12600 C in an electric kiln. I mix all my glazes from raw materials and the experimenting never stops!

I try to let the glazes tell a story inspired by nature, travel, landscape and environment: my way of painting with minerals and fire
