I am a potter and a spinner/weaver. 

 

Clay is fascinating to work with; moulding, impressing into and printing onto it. So much is down to chemistry - how coloured clays change in tone and shade during firing. It is always a suprise to see the finished result.

 

Weaving is quite the opposite. Blending colour and texture is immediate and the finished item is soft, flexible and wearable. I weave with both Saori and rigid heddle looms.

 

Each piece is unique. I do very little planning for any of my projects, preferring to work instinctively and embellishing as the piece evolves.
