About

Growing up in Cornwall near St Ives, I had the good fortune of having beautiful ceramics and art on my doorstep.

I followed a career in intensive care nursing and it wasn’t until 2010 that I had my first pottery lesson and felt it was something I should have always done.

In 2017, I took the decision to make it my full time job and Inca Pottery - named after our beautiful dog ‘Inca’ began its journey.

My main aim is to produce beautiful pottery that is functional and can be enjoyed in your home.

I have inspired colour themes running through the collection and hope to offer choices for everyone to add to their space.

The Process

Using durable stoneware clay, I mostly hand throw the pieces on a potter’s wheel. Once leather-hard, the bases of the pieces are turned & shaped and any personalisation added. They are then left to completely dry before the first slow bisque firing to 1000 degrees. This changes the clay to ceramic. The kiln takes about 48 hours to fire and cool.

The pieces are then glazed using food-safe, lead-free glazes before going back in the kiln for the second firing to 1240 degrees taking another 48 hours for the firing and cooling. This vitrifies the clay, making them non porous and totally useable. It’s all hard-wearing and suitable for the dishwasher, microwave or oven.
