'I have come to ceramics late in life, having spent over three decades working in the fashion industry. I started adult education classes in pottery in 1999 and quickly became obsessed with clay. Im mainly self taught, Ive attended several intensive courses, for example a week smoke-firing with Jane Perryman and a City and Guilds course at the City Lit with Robert Cooper and Dan Kelly'
