I spent the summer of 2024 in Denmark as an apprentice at Hjorths Fabrik; a ceramic factory and museum that dates back to mid-19th century . To spend these weeks focussed on improving my throwing skills, learning more about gas firing, and getting a good view of the way a production pottery runs was such a special opportunity that I am so grateful to have had.

Following on from this experience, I am back in my own studio beginning to develop a collection of tableware. For a while I have been looking to pin down a few functional forms that satisfy me, and will be using the skills learned on my apprenticeship to make this happen. So far I've pinned down a coffee cup and a couple of bowl varieties which I've been using and living with for the last few months. So far so good!

I am very happy to continue working with The House. I recently completed a commission for a pair of sconces based on a little wall tile I made a couple of years ago. I'd not made any lights before, so this was a very enjoyable and satisfying challenge!

A second iteration of my ongoing collaborative project, COMMON PLACE is also in progress.
