Hello, I'm Stephen.

I'm a maker based in Belfast, and I make a bit of everything, really. Pots, porcelain tiles, sketches, prints on aluminium and linen, and whatever else catches my eye.

I'm interested in the everyday, the simple things, the places we know, the things we remember and the stories we carry with us.

I like experimenting with materials, trying new things and seeing where an idea takes me. There's always something new happening in the studio, and rarely just one thing at a time!

Everyday Pots. Simply Made. 

A new collection of handmade pottery from my Belfast studio. Thrown on the wheel, glazed by hand and made for everyday living. Candle holders, garlic graters, spoon rests and a few other little things. Made in small batches, each with its own character. No two quite the same, and always something new coming out of the kiln.

VESSELS FOR LIFE

When we lose someone we love, the things that connect us to them can take on a different meaning. We keep photographs. Letters. Jewellery. A favourite coat hanging for longer than it probably needs to. Some things become extraordinarily precious, because of the people we associate with them.

I wanted these vessels to belong to that same world. Vessels for Life are handmade ceramic memorial vessels, created to hold the ashes, or simply memories, of someone you love, a small and precious thing to keep them close. Made individually in my Belfast studio, each is created to live quietly and beautifully in the home.

However it is kept, its material comes from the earth and can ultimately be returned to it, in your own time.

The Parting Glass

Éire, Oileán an Cheoil (Ireland, an Island of Music) was created to celebrate the first-ever Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann to be held in Belfast. This unique artwork celebrates the rich musical heritage woven throughout the 32 counties of Ireland, honouring the traditions, stories and communities that have shaped our island's enduring love of music.
