With a grant from the Prince's Trust, Charlotte set up her own ceramics business in 1995, her studio is a wonderful converted barn complete with faded blue paint door.

Charlotte "channels". Not in a mystic, Otherworldly sense but certainly her artistry honours thousands of years of human history, of worship or everyday living through her clay. Her Animal Guardian jars being one tiny example of the extraordinary talent of this dynamic woman.

Charlotte has exhibited in Japan and New Zealand, extensively throughout the UK, including the Victoria & Albert Museum, Royal Museum of Scotland, the RSA, London and Glasgow Art Fairs.
