I am a self-taught ceramist, working with slip cast porcelain.  Each piece, and all the moulds they’re formed in, are made from start to finish by me at my atelier in Burgundy, using the finest Limoges porcelain. 

 

I grew up in South Devon before moving to London to study at Chelsea College, University of the Arts London.  After setting up the antique shop Phoenix on Golborne Road (London) in 2010, I swiftly gained an obsession for 18th & 19th Century porcelain and soon after took up ceramics as a hobby.  This naturally developed into a quest to capture the magic of the English & French porcelain tableware I was finding at antique markets.  Exquisitely beautiful, the perfect porcelain white but never quite the right shape or size for my cup of tea or long, morning coffee and rarely more than one of them.  My house was full to the brim of all things old but I struggled to find the right mugs and cups to live harmoniously with my antique treasure.  

 

Fast forward a few years, we’ve relocated from London to my Husband’s native Burgundy with our 2 small children to renovate a crumbling 18th century house.  I've set up my Atelier amidst the famous vines of the Cote D'or and I'm excited to finally share the results of the past decade of learning, exploration and practice with the world.
