New Pottery Book Launch

I’m an author!

I’ve been busy during lockdown co-writing a pottery book with potter Linda Bloomfield. Our Book, ‘Design & Create Contemporary Tableware’ will launch on February 2nd.

Together, we explain the importance of inspiration and consistency in design, providing step-by-step guides to the main making methods, which include hand building, pinching, coiling, throwing and slipcasting. They also offer advice on using various clay materials – such as recycled and reused clay bodies – and the combination of clay with other materials including wood, metal, textiles and synthetics. Tips are provided on glaze fit, dishwasher- and microwave-safe glazes, firing and finishing.
