Fireweed Pottery is a small Sheffield studio where clay, nature, and slow making come together
My work is shaped slowly, with a focus on simple forms, everyday use, and the quiet satisfaction of objects made to be held.
I work from a studio at Bank Street Studios in Sheffield, hand‑building and throwing each piece with care. Clay has a grounding rhythm to it — steady, tactile, and honest — and that pace guides everything I make.
Much of my inspiration comes from time spent outdoors. Wild places bring energy and movement; home brings calm and warmth. My work sits somewhere between the two — shaped by the resilience of plants like fireweed, and made for the gentle moments that follow being outside.
I create functional pieces designed for daily use: mugs, bowls, vases, and tableware that feel good in the hand and fit naturally into everyday life. Each piece is made with intention, using simple forms and a nature‑rooted palette.
I also teach small workshops, offering a space for people to explore clay, learn new skills, and enjoy the connection that comes from making something with their hands, with other people. These sessions are calm, welcoming, and focused on the enjoyment of creating.
Alongside my pottery, I share a weekly look at wild plants — their stories, uses, recipes, and small details worth noticing. These journals often feature my ceramics, bringing together the wild outdoors and the quiet moments at home.
Fireweed Pottery is shaped by nature, made by hand, and designed for everyday life.
