About me - I’m a potter and maker based in Scotland

I produce wheel-thrown tableware and a considered collection of studio pottery tools. 

Please sign-up to my mailing list for studio news and early access to shop updates.

I live and work in Dumfries and Galloway, in south-west Scotland, with my wife Laura and our three young sons, Rowan, Elliot and Louie.

My studio is based in an old school building, just a short walk from home.

After studying Design at Glasgow School of Art, I went on to work for Habitat and Ikea before stepping away from mass production. In 2020, I established a studio grounded in my own design principles.

My work celebrates simplicity and functionality, highlighting the inherent beauty of objects made by hand.

I document my journey as a potter on Instagram Instagram
