This book offers a unique opportunity to gain technical, practical and professional insights from leading international ceramic practitioners, inviting readers into their studios to understand the realities of daily practice. Organised around 20 accessible themes, it addresses topics ranging from sources of inspiration and studio routines to firing techniques and the development of resilience within a ceramics career.
Honest and grounded in professional experience, the book considers both the rewards and the challenges of sustained practice, and serves as a thoughtful companion for makers at all stages of their ceramic journey.

Her distinctive pieces are inspired by architectural features, and created by combining throwing and handbuilding techniques. In 2025 she won the major prize ‘AWARD’ at the British Ceramics Biennial.
