Evocative works – complex, seductive and elegant
NEW COLLECTION
Glorians
One of the most persistent barriers to meaningful environmental action is the distance people feel from it: the sense that it is too vast, too systemic, too far from the rhythms of daily life.
Glorians provides a tangible and personal starting point, leading with a simple question:
What would you protect, if you committed to protect one thing?

ABOUT
“My studio is my creative home – where I feel most at peace…
My hands are coated in clay, fingertips running along the soft fronds of ferns or the jagged fragility of snakeskin, packing pieces carefully in amongst natural materials in kilns that fire hotter than lava.
It’s fiery and cool – a thrill of the senses.
An alchemy I find unmatched in any other craft.
