A lovely week sharing a popup shop with a local artists. Really makes me think about what I value in art - community and shared experience. I spend my time making alone, so it’s nice to get out and talk to people every now and again.

Our rising seas. This is only going to get harder to ignore.

I’ve been out looking for materials in some fantastic sunshine. It’s new to me, so I have a lot to learn, but it’s amazing what you see when you start looking for different rock types and clay minerals around you. This erosion by a local river is just beautiful.

One of my thrown pots that’s been carved away to achieve a fairly organic, fractured texture. I really like this process as it allows me to really play with the strength of oxide colour by building it into the open spaces.

Welp, here we go... Buckle up for another historic melt season!

My work is about capturing the feeling of ice and arctic landscapes in clay and ceramics. Working in three dimensions lets me play with the edge of things and explore the sense of fragility and impermanence.

It's a rainy day here but the kiln is on so I can relax, do some admin and get excited about some new pots cooking.

Here's one little ice pot for now.

Rising global temperatures can influence the timing of events, such as when crops are ready to plant and harvest and when flowers and trees bloom.

One example is the timing of the peak cherry tree blossom in Kyoto, Japan, where records stretch back to the ninth century — that’s over 1200 years.

Been busy glazing and decorating pieces for a kiln load to go on! I'm enjoying sculpting little polar bears after a lot of requests at markets. They are quite rustic, but I like to think they are charming!

We are thrilled to announce that the Cryosphere Pavilion side event application process for UN Ocean Conference in Nice is now open!

The Pavilion funded by the Fondation Albédo pour la Cryosphère is on a mission to bring the cryosphere’s message to the world.

Hello!

I'm a small scale pottery enthusiast who comes from a career as a physical oceanographer in the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. I make pottery inspired by the fragile beauty that we are desperate to continue destroying. I create so I can try to live a normal life amid this chaos.
