Parkgate Pottery

I've been a potter and artist for many years with a fine art degree from Reading University. I work in a buff stoneware clay and my favoured way of creating is to throw pots on the wheel, making functional yet beautiful items for everyday use. My inspiration often comes from the plants and trees that surround the garden studio and experimenting with different glaze combinations, painting on a wax resist then layering up the glazes. I also love to teach pottery for adults which are small groups of 3 for wheel throwing and up to 6 for hand building classes which are often a theme like creating garden ornaments.
