A multi award winning potter who has exhibited in numerous group exhibitions. I started with a few hobby classes and workshops where I learnt the basics of ceramics and then built on that foundation by experimentation. My horsehair raku pots entail many stages to produce a finished pot. Starting by throwing on the wheel, through bisque firing, then firing to 900 degrees when the pots are individually removed and horsehair applied. This instantly vaporizes on the extremely hot surface creating a completely individual image on each item. When cool they are washed, dried and buffed with bees wax. Raku ware is porous and unsuitable for functional use.
