I am a designer/maker working on the North Coast of Northern Ireland. This web site provides details of the artwork I produce and details of my art courses.

Work

My work varies in scale from small interior work and wall pieces to public art:

• Interior work: Ceramic and glass dishes, platters and wall pieces are sold through outlets in Ireland and abroad as well as directly to the public from my studio.
• Public Art: I use a range of materials such as bronze, stainless steel, concrete, glass and mosaic in public and private buildings i.e. hospitals, school buildings, housing developments and gardens.

Courses

I provide a range of ceramic and pottery courses at the studio, there are usually around 8-10 people in a class.
Most of the courses are suitable for beginner’s, there are ceramic kilns, a throwing wheel and plenty of space.
I have diverse teaching experience, for example:

• Teaching and co-ordinating community art projects in Glasgow for local councils, arts organisations etc. (1990-96)
• Working full time and teaching pottery in Flowerfield Arts Centre, Portstewart (1997-2002)
• Co-ordinating craft courses and teaching pottery for a North Antrim Arts charity (2003-07)
• Teaching in schools, with youth groups, community groups and housing associations.
• Facilitating corporate groups.
• Running team building workshops.

See the COURSES page for more detailed information on bespoke courses and events.
