A cup of coffee and a pint of water.

What are your studio essentials?

Music, coffee, and a lot of clay.

 

 

What do you listen to whilst you work?

BBC radio 6 mostly.

What has been the most influential advice someone has given you?

Try and say yes to everything, this has been both very good and bad advice at times but I've learnt the most from having said yes to projects and work that has pushed me in directions I wouldn't have gone down otherwise.

 

 

What was the last thing you saw that inspired you?

A recent exhibition at the Hepworth gallery in Wakefield put together by JW Andersson, an amazing collection of objects, textiles and ceramics. Which provided some exciting ideas for new ceramic shapes and characters.

What are you looking forward to in 2017?

Visiting Berlin, being outside more and working on some exciting projects!
