I use a unique method to print onto raw craft crank clay which has been painted with coloured slips. The pots are then hand built and fired to 1180 degrees, producing a slightly raised metalicised image.
My work draws on a fascination with maps and their relationship with landscape, earth and clay. Newer work features victorian maps printed on inner surfaces and contemporary street art/graffiti on outer, exploring inner/outer surface interplay of order and freeform, the old and the new.
Price range: £70- £300.

Approximately one third of my work is to commission, making Maps on Pots for retirement presentations, wedding gifts, significant birthdays, etc and often incorporating a personal image, poem or inscription into the design of the piece and using maps significant for the recipient.
