I am interested in the dialogue between the maker and the viewer - what is made and what is perceived. My knitted teapots are dipped in porcelain slip and when fired the wool burns away yet leaves the impression of the original material. Knitting should be soft and malleable but my teapots are hard and rigid.

My connection with the wool has grown since my introduction to spinning in recent years and now is an integral part of my creative output.
