Whether it's routine servicing, fault finding and repair or just general advice I’m here to help. I understand how important your kilns and wheels are to your creative flow, teaching schedule, or studio income. My aim is to get you back up and running quickly, safely, and with clear, honest advice - no upselling, just practical help.

I often have local call-out short notice availability for troubleshooting a fault, or an urgent breakdown before a firing — so you’re not left waiting when your work (or class schedule) depends on it.​​ Please call if this is the case.
