-PORCELAIN-

If you are wondering about the strength of porcelain, prepare to be surprised. Did you know it is the strongest of all clays? Fired up to 1260c (2300F), wheel-thrown porcelain is a super-strong, water tight material with smooth, delicate looks. Simply handle it with the same care you use in normal day-to-day life. It is easy to clean with a toothbrush or damp cloth. The vases are dishwasher safe! Using a bit of damp sandpaper on the bare clay will improve the smoothness after time. Looked after carefully, porcelain will last for many generations.

I make all my work by hand in my peaceful studio on the Moray Firth in Scotland where I live with my wonderful husband and slightly odd cat.
I have been a potter for the last nine years after discovering the amazing joy of working with porcelain on a potter’s wheel. After making my name with wheel-thrown porcelain cups, bowls and vases, about 5 years ago I began making jewellery on the potters wheel too.
Each piece begins as a lump of pure white porcelain clay which I throw by hand on my potter’s wheel and is sometimes then sliced to make the jewellery pieces. I then fettle (smooth and refine) very, very carefully and then I fire each piece to 900c, smooth it, sand it and glaze it and fire it again to top temperature which is 1260c in an electric kiln and give it a final diamond-polish. Each piece I make takes several weeks from start to finish as it requires so many time consuming processes which are all completed carefully by hand.
