In 1968, I began studying as a potter at Herefordshire School of Art & Design. This is my very first attempt at a coiled vase, a gift I took home to my mother. The fact that it has survived is a triumph of her faith in me over its ugliness!

I wish she could be here to see my 40th anniversary exhibition here in La Borne. The show opens on 5th November and will run until 30th.

The black and white photographs are the work of Christine West with four by Joe Kent.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported me in many ways over the last 40 years since I opened my first pottery in Cornwall at the age of 21.
