Designer by day, pottery buildings by night.

Based in Macclesfield, I create bespoke clay commissions that celebrate the buildings people love most. Working from my home studio ( in the cellar), I specialise in nostalgic recreations of landmarks, family homes, and places filled with personal meaning. Every piece is handcrafted in air‑dry clay, designed to capture not just the architecture but the memories attached to it. My commissions range from statement pieces for local businesses to heartfelt gifts for friends and families. What drives my practice is the moment a client sees their building brought to life — often emotional, always rewarding. Each commission is a chance to honour a story, a place, or a moment in time.
