I make functional pots in stoneware and porcelain, because I love the processes of throwing, turning, decorating and glazing clay. I am drawn to working in relief and using traditional motifs such as fish, bamboo, dragons, frogs and cranes (the birds that is, not tall machines!). I also love 

glazes and spend hours trying to create flowing effects with colour. Sometimes this is successful and on other occasions a disaster, but the process is always fun even if the outcome is sometimes 

unexpected.
