Hello and welcome to my home page.
I originally studied Fine Art at Edinburgh university and Art College. Mainly drawing and painting but with some ceramics in modeling from the figure.
After some years and several continents
later (check out our other
web page,
Andy
and Rona,
for more on this), where my sole
artistic activity consisted
of setting up whacky web pages, I attended a "Mad teapots" ceramics
weekend workshop at
North Sydney Community Centre, run
by Sydney sculptor
Pim Hodge, and discovered, somewhat to my amazement, that I really hadn't lost the
talent.
Finally, in 2005, after more years than I care to own up to, I decided to part company with the IT industry and study ceramics full time at Hornsby TAFE on Sydney's upper north shore. I am also a member of Macquarie Hills Potters which gives me the opportunity to do more experimental firings such as pit and black firings.
The photo is of me working on one of my latest, mainly hand built, pieces. This site is to showcase a few of my favourite pieces. I hope you enjoy them.
