I
love working with my hands. I feel at times they have their own
agenda and I am just along for the ride. So it does not come as a
surprise that I like to use my hands to express myself. Whether that
is through my clay work, baking a cake or working in my garden.
Currently, sculpting animals in clay fascinates me. I find it
challenging and ultimately rewarding to achieve a balance of creating
the animal desired, give it a personality and the feeling of movement
in something as solid and immovable as fired clay.
To
work with clay and have clay work with me is a passion of mine. I am
not one for fine lines, scrupulous detail and vibrant colours. I am
one for proportion, movement and letting the clay speak for itself. I
stoneware fire my work with a minimum of glaze which makes it suitable
for being outside year-round.
