Fire in my hand,

A cold ball of fire,

Fire which has changed its shape

Hidden in the clay

                                    …pottery.

I work in a small converted barn in the Ligurian Apennines.

I make stoneware and porcelain, thrown on a potters wheel, glazed, then fired at 1280C.

All my glazes are food safe.

I like making things which have a clear function and I enjoy the rich palette of stoneware glazes, so the vessels can visually enrich a room, even when not in use.
