From 1953-1959 he worked at the Leach Pottery and in 1965 he set up Stradbroke Pottery in Eye, Suffolk. He has designed for many major companies, including Wedgwood, Midwinter and Denby but is highly respected in his own right as a contemporary potter producing individually thrown, coiled or slabbed pots in stoneware. During his career he has explored colour, surface texture, form, detail of edge, and line. His work has been often referenced including "Design Sourcebook Ceramics" by Edmund De Waal, New Holland,1999 and "A guide to Collecting Studio Pottery" by Alistair Hawtin, A & C Black, 2008. His work can be found in public collections throughout the UK with the Victoria and Albert Museum holding several of his pieces.
