My partner Janine King and I were burnt out in the catastrophic bush fires of 2019. We have spent the past 5 years re-building our lives and pottery studio. We are in the process of getting our creative work life back in order – almost there. Janine king and I have studied, travelled and worked together for over 50 years. I have spent the past 20 years researching single-stone, sericite porcelains all around the world. I have travelled widely, presenting papers at conferences giving talks about my research and been invited to talk, teach and give workshops in the UK, France, Germany, Denmark, New Caledonia, Korea and Japan. We currently make stoneware, porcelain and midfire work.
