After graduation in 1999 Pat established her workshop, a former Thatchers yard, at Salhouse Broad.  

The strong patterns of the local farming landscape influenced her work for some years, culminating in her using recycled Norfolk reed ash glazes.

 

Her Post Grad. training and subsequent professional training and development has been in the pottery towns of Japan. Since 2000 when Pat attended a workshop in Mashiko with Tomo  Hamada, (Grandson of Shoji Hamada). Japan has been a constant influence and joy.

Subsequent study trips in 2004 and 2007 led to exhibitions in Tokyo and Osaka.

A summer long residency in 2009 with IWCAT in Tokoname led to further exhibitons  and  exchanges.

New work for 2013 originates from    Japanes Boro Quilts. Combining a love of textiles with Mingei aesthetics."
