Current Work
I now work with a range of stoneware bodies depending on the effects I want to produce: Svend
Bayer from Valentines, Ashraf Hanna, also from Valentines, Earthstone E/S 5 and a French clay, GSA T 40.
I have recently built my own wood-firing kiln. The kiln and my approach to working
the clay and glazes are subject to continual experimentation. My work is evolving as a result.
