Sculptural Leaf Birdbath complete with perched bird carved in natural stone – 34″ x 23″ x 13″ For my recent show Beautiful & Useful at Sussex Prairies Gardens I popped this Birdbath on a plinth and it created a handsome and much admired feature – especially with the wonderful backdrop of the dramatic Amaranthus […]
Beautiful & Useful Fair 2023
Vase in the purest and most luminous Alabaster – hinting at the timeless profile of the great Medici vases, but calmer, with restrained satin finish. The decoration, which can be applied with a glory of stems, buds or blooms, is entirely up to you. Part of the collection being shown at the Beautiful […]

These are Serpentine vases in the softest green colour with hints of warm gold with white veining and mottling. Each vase shaped and then polished to bring out the glorious colours.

Beautiful & Useful Fair 2022
I’m enjoying curating pieces for the Beautiful & Useful Fair 2022 where I’ll be showing my work in September. Definitely included is the Catcastle Vase, hand carved in pale and intriguingly textured natural stone. Each vase in the collection is differently marked with unusual pattern and subtle colouring. The three minimal designs are all […]
