We live and work together in Hamilton, New Zealand.

We create individually but find that combining our talents brings a special satisfaction.

For many years I have worked solely with stoneware clays, preferring to fire with wood for slipped and Shino glazed pots, and gas for Celadon glazes. About seven years ago I built a wood-fired salt glazing kiln; quite small, with an internal firebox. The design was determined by the number and type of bricks I had amassed. This has been my standard firing process ever since. Four years ago I bit the bullet and "had a go" at throwing with porcelain. I loved it!  It's lightness, it's translucency!  I've been concentrating on getting to grips with it ever since my first workshop with John Dawson. It is a fickle mistress, demanding 3 times the care and attention of stoneware clays; even then she's  likely to throw a hissy fit and bite the dust. The challenge is irresistible. Currently I am challenged by mastering the moon jar form; relatively easy in stoneware, but frustrating in porcelain.

After many years of interest in woodcraft - creating kitchen utensils, chess boards and wooden boxes  I decided to try my hand at woodturning and have been hooked ever since. I have now reached a satisfyingly high level of skill. I love experimenting and finding new challenges that test my abilities. The idea that woodturning can be both a physical discipline and an artistic rigour adds to its appeal.
