My style is heavily influenced by my background in graphic design,
and I particularly like working with strong graphic lines.
These Pop Art-style biscuit designs, for example, are the perfect blend of nostalgia, whimsy and functionality - designed to bring a smile to your face!
A few of my designs are currently listed in my SHOP.

During lockdown in 2020, I did an online course with Annette Lindenberg (RCA Ceramics & Glass MA 2021) to learn the ancient Japanese technique of Kurinuki - the technique of hollowing & carving from single blocks of clay.
I now use those skills in combination with some of my thrown vessels to create larger forms with lovely hand carved texture on the outside with smooth glazed interiors…

I first started working with porcelain at The Clay Room in Orpington under the guidance of Sophie Southgate. She not only taught me slip-casting, but also how to make a complex plaster mould out of one of my Kurinuki carved cups. I have subsequently used this mould to make small batches of slip-cast porcelain cups in off-white, a custom mixed shade of pink, blue and grey/black - they sit so beautiful in your hands and are perfect for a warming brew!
I have also really enjoyed exploring the possibilities of ‘water-etching’ patterns on the still unfired porcelain. Using wax resist, I hand-decorate the freshly slip-cast cast porcelain vessels, which are allowed to dry before being wiped back with a damp sponge. This action removes the top layers of the clay to reveal an embossed effect (the design being protected by the wax resist) which is a painstaking, but satisfying process!
The vessels are left to dry slowly before being bisque fired. Transparent glaze is applied to the inside making them suitable for use as drinking vessels or utensil holders and the wonderful embossed effect remains crisp and tactile on the outside.
A few of my designs are currently listed in my SHOP.

My love of jewellery started young - first with stringing tiny beads which I threaded onto safety pins and sold in my primary school playground for a few pennies! Years later, after a trip to Germany, I was introduced to FIMO and brought back a selection of materials which I used to make teeny tiny flower earrings and brooches which I sold to friends in my teens.

Fast forward circa 35 years, I have rekindled these early explorations and have started playing with a few ideas. Small charms inspired by nature, presented on sterling silver endless hoops and simple pendants.
The beauty of the endless hoops is that the porcelain charms can be exchanged for different designs to suit the seasons or the time of day - meaning that you only need to invest in one pair of sterling silver endless hoops!
My latest designs are currently available to purchase on my Folksy online shop.

I was part of the London Potters & the Sogetsu School of Ikebana London Branch (SSILB) collaborative exhibition on Saturday 1st November 2025.
“Come and experience the harmony of nature, art and imagination… a unique collaboration showcasing stunning Ikebana arrangements display in unique, handcrafted ceramics.”
I was one of a small group of London Potters each paired with a member of the SSILB.
I worked together with Ditas Pring for many weeks to present a ‘Winter Wonderland’ arrangement on the day of the exhibition..
Symbolic of strength, unity and harmony with nature, these stoneware vessels represent winter - a time of dormancy in nature and quiet transition before the rebirth of spring.
Silver leaf has been applied to some of the vessels as a ‘cold finish’ which may naturally tarnish to bring an aged quality to the pieces as time goes by…

My Christmas Collection has been hugely influenced by my Danish heritage and my childhood memories of time spent together as a family - my intention is to bring this same feeling of ‘hygge’ to your home - something which brings family together with cosy candlelight (such as my tea-light gingerbread houses) and unique table decorations creating special memories that with love and care will last for many generations to come…
I always buy some pine branches and collect holly and other evergreen foliage from our garden to decorate our Christmas table, sideboards, window sills and empty vases. I add small pine cones and Danish paper stars ‘julestjerner’ to add depth and height. My ceramics are snuggled in between the evergreens - the pine smells soooo good! :)
Battery operated tea-lights still give that lovely candle twinkle without the danger of a real flame (especially with young children running around) - I include these as standard with all of my gingerbread tea-light houses and Christmas tree tea-light holders which have holes drilled for the light to shine through.
I was thrilled to be chosen to be one of Folksy’s Festive Featured Makers in the run-up to Christmas in 2025. You can read the full blog feature here…
