I named my pottery Chloris, which is the Greek name for Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, because many of the crystals bloom into flower shapes. it is based in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales
I have had a passion for art throughout life, but my interest in pottery was stirred when I was fortunate to be taught on an AS level art course by well-regarded ceramicist Billy Adams. I went on from there to study BA (Hons) Art Practice at the University of South Wales, where I was encouraged to develop my ceramics skills by Lisa Krigel.
