I am a teller of tall tales and tiny stories, a lover of books, birds, beaches and tea. Currently living somewhere between Pembrokeshire and my imaginary world, I am never far from a bird, a book, a beach or a kettle.

I work with pewter, a beautiful and often underrated metal. It is subtle, malleable, pliant, and makes wonderfully crisp castings. Pewter no longer contains lead. I make little pewter people running around on driftwood, and birds, using plywood moulds that are hand-cut on a scroll saw. I’m still surprised by the magic of a perfect piece appearing out of a mould. The driftwood comes from my local beaches in West Wales. Picking up driftwood is one of the best bits of my job! My little pewter people are inspired by the illustrations in the children’s books I loved as a child. Those illustrations provided a place of innocence, warmth and safety that I hope has found its way into my work.
