Words

I write about ceramics, crafts, identity and design.
If you have an idea in mind and are looking for a writer, do not hesitate to get in touch.

You can also follow me on Substack: ‘In the thick of it’ is a space for experimentation, reflection and play.
Join me as I share thoughts, projects that might never see the light of 'real life' and all and any creative experiences.
