The first stage of a new mound project. I am collecting old fishing line to thread through the holes.

My first coiled pot

I love the way the porcelain finds it's own way with the weight of each coil.

wood to gold

The oxidised pieces are on wood that I didn't shellac. As I am using Dutch gold  I need to shellac but have left some pieces to see what would happen.

I've been making more shoelace felt recently. There's something about making an object out of a continuous thread.

wood and clay

I am interested to see what will happen when I burn these.  I was inspired by the Bruder Klause Field Chapel in Germany, designed by Peter Zumthor and built by some of the local farmers.

new material

I have just started working with clay,  hand building.  Not sure about the glazes, a bit shiny.  I much prefer the unglazed pieces.  At the moment my selection of glazes is limited.
