Red Fields ll
My digital print work are all my own original designs. They are created from either a traditional mono print or a design that I have done on the iPad. I then add a photographic image of textures or landscapes, i.e. houses, trees etc. I then put them into photoshop where I blend and manipulate them until the desired result is achieved. They are printed on fine art paper or aluminium and are limited editions of 5.
Ceramics
These pots are thrown on a wheel using either porcelain or stoneware clay. They are then biscuit fired before glazing. I mask out certain areas and then dip them into a transparent glaze, the masking tape is then removed and using brush on glazes I add different colours to the masked areas. The pots are then fired again to a high firing (1250 degrees cent.) At this point the ceramic transfers are applied and they have a third firing. Finally the lustres are applied and the fourth and final firing is done.
Directions to my studio in Chobham
Chobham is a small village in Surrey just north of Woking (not to be confused with Cobham!). It is off Junction 3 of the M3 and Junction 11 of the M25.
My workshop/showroom is situated on The High Street next door to Velvet Rooms 4 Hair and is opposite to the church and The White Hart.
There is limited parking right outside and a large car park (free for the first 2hrs.) about 200 yards away behind a saddlery called "Chobham Rider". Turn right if you are coming north up the High Street and look out for the big blue "P" Parking sign. If you are coming south it is a left turn just before you would go over a mini roundabout into the High Street.
For Sat Nav users use the postcode GU24 8LZ and it will take you to the car park.
