News - Autumn 2025

New Studio Community

I've joined Cultivate Artists Studio CIC, a beautiful artist-led studio space in Leyton for artists working with clay. I'm sharing space with five exceptional artists who all have inspiring experience with foraged clay and glaze making. Cultivate aims to give artists confidence to experiment within their practice and freedom to grow creatively - I'm delighted to be part of this community.

Open Studio Weekend 29th & 30th November 2025 - Join us for mulled wine, works on display, and pieces for sale (raising funds for a new kiln). Would love to see you there!

Craft Parlour Publication

The Craft Parlour publication has been released! My contribution grew from a cross-continent presentation where I sent local London clay to Vancouver, Canada, and led an eyes-closed clay forming exercise with the other artists. We were exploring how materials might carry connection across distance. The writer Ruth Goldsmith responded with a beautiful poem about touch across time. It's lovely to hold this physical record of our conversations about touch, materials, and making. Available from Peripheral Review for $30 Canadian.
