In the last 10 years a large part of my practice has been working within the education sector and wider community with both children and adults. This part of my practice has reinforced in me that we all have amazing creative capabilities, and only reason that people believe or think they are not creative, is that they have yet to find that medium to work with that excites their imagination.

My Pot about Town
The idea behind making of my big pot was the metaphor ‘The Melting Pot’ which in the 18th and 19th centuries - used to describe the fusion of different nationalities, ethnicities and cultures.
