My hand-thrown work is made under the name Black Shed Ceramics, in honour of my gorgeous studio. It has purely been a hobby for years, giving me time to play with clay and practice throwing on the wheel.
In 2018 I curated an exhibition on architectural ceramics at the Building Centre. Hand Held to Super Scale was a collaboration with fellow ceramicist Lydia Johnson. Some fab artists, architects and makers joined us to discuss their work, including Kate Malone, Eric Parry, Richard Deacon and Grayson Perry!
Walthamstow Ceramics started in 2020 when our son was born. I made a 1st fathers day mug and then a few footprint plates for friends who had also recently become parents. The project has grown from there.
