I will continue my studies at Central Saint Martins, specialising in ceramics.<\/p>\n<p>Working across functional and sculptural pieces, my practice is rooted in form. I often begin on the wheel, then alter and reshape the clay to create tension in proportion. Narrow bases and expanded volumes challenge expectations of balance, changing how each piece is experienced in space.<\/p>\n<p>I use surface with restraint, allowing the form to remain the focus. Each piece is designed to hold attention through its structure, proportion and presence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_3_5 et_flex_column_3_5_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_0 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2J0A0140.jpg\" title=\"2J0A0140\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2J0A0140.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2J0A0140-1280x1707.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2J0A0140-980x1307.jpg 980w, https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2J0A0140-480x640.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1536px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-1053\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1005","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1005"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1005\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1122,"href":"https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1005\/revisions\/1122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev2.bluegekko.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
