My Journey with Mud, from washing to Firing

Yes, I really did start my working life washing mud; mud that was millions of years old. Prior to scientific analysis it had to be washed, and that kept me busy for a few months. But as interesting as it  was (yes, it really was), the creative fire was burning inside me and soon I moved to a graphic design studio delivering promotional pieces from military tanks to punk album covers.

In 1990 I had the chance to enter the, then brand new, field of showhouse interior design. Having established myself as a lead designer in the field I have designed showhomes from London to Cornwall to Birmingham to Mallorca.  For the last 20 years I have been running my own showhome interior design company.

And now my creative journey brings me full circle, back into contact with mud. It arrives pre-washed and ready for my hands to form the organic shapes I see around: coral, plants, sheep, ancient rocks, petals, sheep, fire, and ice. And did I say, sheep?
