About Ashley
I’ve was drawn to clay for its reactive nature to touch. Watching the mesmerising patterns of spirals appear on the smooth clay canvas, continues to interest me. I find utilitarian pottery the best method to express my ideas. Utilitarian pottery represents our rituals of celebration and enjoy pairing these forms with glazes that mimic the natural world.
