About GSC


All of my products are lovingly handmade on a potter’s wheel by myself in a small studio in Cardiff, Wales and came about through my interest in wet shaving. I have developed my range of shaving pottery through trial and error and working with other shaving enthusiasts from around the country. 

My pottery is fired to 1220ºC making it hardwearing, impervious to water and more environmentally friendly than traditional high fired ceramics. As a result it is safe for use in microwaves and dishwashers.

I graduated University with a 1st class honours degree in Ceramics in 2016 and was awarded the Alan Barrett-Danes Award for Technical Achievement and have been working on a range of work ever since. In the daytime I work in a production pottery making large scale planters and garden pottery.
