My work with ceramics began with the Accidental Expressionist tea set, made in a collaboration with Emily Johnson and her British design brand, 1882ltd.

Over the past seven years this relationship has evolved and expanded into much larger scale works. In 2019 we created the Penny Vase and for the 2022 edition of the London Design Festival we exhibited 2.2 meter column sculptures formed of ceramic pots stacked in totem-like fashion. I’ve spent a lot of time at the 1882ltd factory, which is located in Barlaston, Staffordshire, in the UK. Working with crafts folk who are all experts in their various fields of making, my knowledge of the ceramic process is vastly expanded. This page is a progress through these past few years.

Ceramic work is available at Mint Gallery in London and at the Martyn Thompson Showroom and Studio Alm in Sydney. Available online at 1882ltd
