I began by researching journals and came across the Ceramic Review. I decided my work fitted into this category as it is very well known across the art community and supports such a wide variety of artists with largely different styles and ideas. Other journals only publish artists who work in a specific style using…
PDP – Exhibition Module
I began this academic year with only a little idea of what I wanted my work to be. I knew I wanted to continue using Raku processes and throwing, however the Gesamkunstwerk bowl project really opened my eyes to what I enjoy making. I discovered that I really enjoy throwing tea bowls as they are…
Exhibition
I came up with many ideas for the exhibition space I was given, such as creating a background using wooden boards and painting them to give a plain background with dark grey plinths in front. However, in the end I decided to make 3 wooden plinths and spray them with enamel paint to give them…

My Website : Raw Ceramics
I have created a website that shows all my Raku work, discusses where my interest in ceramics began and what exhibitions I have taken part in, as well as explaining my practice. The theme of the website is raku. By taking sections of photos of my work I have placed them on a template of…
Final Stacked Bowls
I have improved the result of my glaze which I am really proud of! I discovered what I was doing wrong. I had added a little bit too much water to my glaze and I was not leaving them in the kiln long enough. I had been leaving my work in the kiln until it…
