She has a long-established workshop and now makes ceramics as well as running courses at her home studio in Warwickshire.

5.0 out of 5 stars a book for all abilities, 7 Oct 2003
I recently purchased this book, and took it into college to show my colleagues - it covers so many techniques, with clear, colour photos and shows a huge range of contemporary works to demonstrate different effects. I've since bought a further copy from Amazon at the request of the college, and now three other students have asked me to get the book for them next time I order from Amazon!! It's a great book to browse through on the sofa of an evening, and to inspire one to have a go at something new.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a buy!, 4 April 2006
By C. V. McCulloch "kv_mc" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was in a ceramic book buying mood a while back and I think I bought about 3. I'm interested in textures and new methods of decorating. I thought this book was fantastic in supplying me with plenty of ideas to try and used many as a starting block for new techniques. It covers basic and modern techniques as well as other aspects of ceramics.
A must for those studying, interested or working in ceramics!

5.0 out of 5 stars Atlast a contempory techniques book!, 28 May 2002
By A Customer
This is a book that is not afraid to mix traditional techniques with contemporary ideas. Good layout, with lots of images of up to date potters and ceramic artists. Good to see alternative firing techniques included aswell. The first techniques book (and I have brought alot!) I am totally happy with.
