My range is inspired by "The Memphis Movement", which was founded by Ettore Sottsass. It is a playful, bright, geometric art movement that took the world by storm in the eighties. My pieces are all hand-thrown on the potter's wheel. Then decorated in a geometric bright colourful pattern, which celebrates "The Memphis Movement".

All of my work is made on the potter's wheel using white earthenware clay, my range includes mugs, jugs, sugar bowls, egg cups, and vases. I hand-decorated all my work, using a technique called "paper resist", this consists of cut out geometric shapes, such as circles, triangles, and rectangles and add them to the pieces. I then paint my coloured slip over the resist and peel away the newspaper when it drys, exposing the geometric pattern below.
