I was introduced to ceramics at Batley College of Art and Design where I studied on the Foundation course between the years 1973 - 75. From there I specialised in ceramics on the B. A. Hons Three Dimensional Design course at Loughborough college of Art and Design, 1975 - 78...
I moved to Brighton in 1979 to qualify as a teacher and taught in the area for some ten years, married and had two sons. I now live in Northamptonshire with my family and where for eighteen years I was the Head of Design and Technology at an Upper School in North Bedfordshire.
