Havign trained at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, and the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff, I am now based in Leith, Edinburgh.

My ceramics turn everyday items into a collage of pleasurable extravagance. I use luxurious porcelain and bone china but remove the formality of the materials so they simply drip with the desire of momentary self-indulgence: chocolate, strawberries, cherries ooze frivolity, laced with a slightly sinister edge.

I use slip-casting techniques to produce high-quality items that defy the throwaway nature of their subject matter. I bring transient materials into the making process, interrupting the formality of the traditional techniques by using cake decorating and sugar-craft tools to ‘ice’ the cast objects with porcelain slip, and even mounting the final works in mounds of icing.
