Website:
I create decorative and functional tableware which offers a canvas to explore my illustrations and painterly patterns. I make one-off bespoke pieces that stand alone, but that can also nestle into existing collections due to the paired back colour schemes and traditional forms. Folklore and nostalgia from the British Isles, my Polish ancestry, and beyond inspire my making.
