I am a retired doctor who for many years has made slow and enjoyable progress through local evening classes and occasional courses. Now, with more time, the creative opportunities with mainly stoneware are an absorbing passion. Slab,hand building, coil and the wheel are all being developed. .Supporting small pottery classes through Bethany Christian Fellowship has added further interest, and I am always delighted for others to visit and join me in creative projects,or just for a coffee and chat. Most of my current work is functional and domestic and there is much pleasure in seeing a variety of pots in everyday use up and down the country. At times the hand building of, for example, hens ,fish and other wildlife add diversity and interest. Recently I have experimented with local clay from Glenbuchat, Strathdon and though time consuming the satisfaction of making a few unique terracotta pots has been well worth the effort. Commissions can be discussed -please let me know if any of my work is of particular interest. Visitors are always welcome. I now have a Facebook page entitled Beechgrove Pots -though intend keeping the website as my main "gallery".
This year I will be participating in the Scottish Potters Association exhibition " Space to Grow" at The Bield, Blackruthven, Perthshire PH1 1PY which runs from the 11th to 29th April 2018 .Later in the year , between the 8th and 16th September, I will again take part in NEOS , joining my friends at Glenbuchat Village Hall , AB36 8UA . I hope to see you at one or both of these events!
