ARTlSTIC EXPERlENCE
Throughout an extensive educational background, I have gained artistic experience that encompasses various art forms and knowledge of artists both past and present. My skills include the ceramic methods of: throwing, hand building, mould making and the numerous techniques of decoration and glazing. Additional accomplishments also include the firing methods in both electric and gas kilns of oxidation, reduction and soda processes.

I have gained further understanding of the methods in the mediums of drawing, painting, print making and photography. Experience also incorporates the abilities needed for the organisation of exhibitions, what is necessary in the display of art work, the lighting and appealing presentation to the public.
