“Not the” London Art Fair 5 Torrens Street Angel, Islington London EC1V 1NQ
I am delighted that I have had some work accepted for this lovely exhibition which coincides with the London Art Fair at the Excel Centre. The exhibition runs from 20th January to 25th January, admission is free and all are welcome . The Private View takes place on Tuesday 20th January from 6pm to 10pm and the gallery is then open from 12pm to 6pm until Sun25th. I look forward to meeting you if you can make it to the Private view and I will also be there on Sunday afternoon.
2025 seems to have disappeared so quickly and I would like to thank everyone who has supported me through the year which has continued a change of direction away from outdoor fairs to larger scale art shows and exhibitions. It was a major decision which, happily, seems to have been a good one, both in terms of my own physical health and the exhibiting and selling of my work. I have been celebrating my 50th year of making pots and I love it just as much now as I did when I started! The exhibition at the Fountain Gallery was a first for me and I felt very privileged to show my work alongside the spectacularly beautiful landscapes of Beverley Waller. I have also been delighted to have shown at the Landmark Arts Centre during the year which now feels like home from home. Speaking of which, we were so pleased to welcome so many friends old and new to BEAT 2025 which went very well. A huge thank you to all who have made an effort to come and see my work and to those people who have bought pieces from me. It is always a privilege to know that my pots are part of many different families and being used on a daily basis.
Without the support of my family, good friends and all of the people who have bought, loved or complimented my work, I would not have been able to continue on my journey in clay, so a heartfelt thanks to you all and I wish all of you a happy, safe and healthy Christmas and a great 2026. There are exciting events coming up for me next year and I will put the details up once they have been finalised. Thanks again for all your support and best wishes.

Fifty years of potting!
This year is the fiftieth anniversary of when I started making pots and I am feeling very privileged and proud of the fact that I am still loving every minute of my life as a potter. It was incredibly fortunate to have found what I loved at 19! I am hoping to spend this year focusing on refining the Moon Jars as they are a great joy to make and I feel that they are very special pots. I will also be revisiting the large handled platters as they provide good surfaces for me to continue my explorations in glazing. My recent adventure with Pilgrim Bottles has inspired me to continue my work on developing these forms. As always I will continue to produce a range of domestic ware
