I have been fascinated by space, stars and planets from childhood, and this interest is reflected in my ‘Planets Series’. I am liberal and unashamed in my use of artisitc licence – but nonetheless I do try to model my work on what is really out there.

Jill has been running workshops for 10 years in Shropshire and beyond, concentrating on bespoke group workshops for 4 to 10 persons.
She is a member of the Shropshire Guild of Designer Makers, occasionally exhibiting with them, as well as at Art & Craft events in and around the West Midlands.
Currently (July/August 26) work showing at The Willow Gallery, Oswestry and at Church Stretton Arts Festival
Encouraged by courses with Sue Woolhouse and Effie Burns at the 36 Lime Street Studios I now enjoy fusing, slumping, sand blasting and lost wax casting. I produce decorative pictures, jewellery and functional items
Recent projects concern the concept of “leaving a trace”. A body of work I have called “Vestigium”.
Part of my research has involved taking casts from archaeological excavations – specifically the revealed surfaces of medieval and Tudor remains of Woking Palace (Henry VII’s family through his mother Margaret Beaufort).
