ceramic vessel resembling a placental, glazed red with speckles in the foreground. Dark glazed vase in the background. Both are on top a white plinth

My work is inspired by traditional Scottish craft and my local landscape of Glasgow. As a process led maker, I enjoy the hands-on nature of traditional Scottish art practices.  I engage with wool, foraged plants and clay through rug making, natural dyeing, knitting and hand-built ceramics. By running workshops for young people I aim to change ideas surrounding knowledge sharing and education. I am inspired most by Kathleen Ryan and Louise Bourgeois who both utilise craft in their work.
