I am a studio potter based in Croydon, an outer eastern suburb near Mt Dandenong in Melbourne, Australia. The majority of my work is wheelthrown functional ware, made and fired here in my tiny garden studio, surrounded by a rambling garden, behind our 1920s original farmhouse. I began potting at high school and continued at Prahran College of Advanced Education (Diploma of Art & Design, majoring in Ceramics – incomplete). Afterwards I worked in the production pottery of Jan Lewis and Tabletop Ceramics as a studio assistant and decorator. My 30-year journey with clay has always run parallel with ‘growing’ my family and teaching adults and children pottery in community settings. I also curated ‘The Cup Collaboration’ exhibition in 2015 and 2016.
