I got hooked on pottery by a potter friend who had built a brick diesel fired kiln and later converted it to gas fired. That was over 40 years ago. A few years later I bought a gas fired kiln of my own and that enabled me to pot full time. At that time I was making wheel thrown domestic ware and some hand made slab work. I was also a member of a pottery co-operative in Auckland. However when we moved to New Plymouth and I attempted to restart the pottery I struggled with the direction that I wanted to go in. I had been impressed with Katy Gold's style of work and that's when I decided to focus on making totems, bird baths, flowers, hanging baskets etc. using bright colours. When Brian retired we decided to work together to produce a range of work for indoors and out in the garden.
