Animal Sculptures
I enjoy sculpting the most out of all the ceramic disciplines because of the time and thought that goes into each piece that makes each one individual. I have sculpted my favourite most inspirational animals.

Whales
Whales are magnificent creatures; they are intelligent, gentle giants. I am fascinated by whales and the way they move gracefully through the water. I have sculpted mainly blue whales in a mixture of Raku or stoneware.

Chickens
Having kept chickens for many years, I grew to love their little personalities. Raku is a great way of bringing these characters to life with its unpredictability.
