"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful"

Welcome to my little studio of beautiful things. Situated in the Cotswold countryside near the vibrant town of Cheltenham , it is where I spend most of my day ( with Bob my cavapoo and Indie my rescue cat), painting and designing ceramic gifts for customers her in the UK and around the world. I have always been an artist. My mother and father are both designers so I suppose it was inevitable. As long as I remember I have been making things, as a child everyone received a handmade gift. ( often a source of amusement from my unforgiving brothers) ...ha but look who's laughing now boys!!. Once I left school, with only a paint brush to my name, I worked as a graphic designer ( too many computers) then a portrait artist ( not enough money) then a teacher ( too noisy ) before I was asked to design a wedding dinner set.
The result was received with such joy and appreciation and I had so much fun designing , painting and firing it in my newly acquired kiln that I decided to design a range of pottery which could be personalised with a name and a message.
I have customers from around the world and it's such a buzz to realise my pottery sits in a home in New York or Sydney . I never compromise on quality and nothing leaves the studio until I am 100% happy with it ( and I am a perfectionist!).
When I am not painting or making pottery I am walking Bob in the glorious countryside around me or practicing yoga which gives me the strength , serenity and motivation to be the best I can be.
