Each piece of work is handbuilt using both coiled and slabbed techniques. Surfaces may be textured or carved prior to the initial bisque firing, after which a limited palette of oxides and glazes are used, with special emphasis being placed upon the necks and openings of each vessel.

 Designs are developed from natural forms and although the same basic shape may be repeated, the final design gradually evolves during the making and glazing processes. Because of this continuously experimental method of working, no two pieces are alike and work can never be exactly replicated.

A mixture of smooth bodied and crank stoneware clays are used. At times, paper clay is used to strengthen fine edges and for the addition of surface details.
