I joined the antiques trade in 1996 and spent a couple of years as a fair exhibitor at a variety of events including the well-known and popular Shepton Mallet antique fairs and also held a regular Monday base at Taunton Antiques Market with a preference towards pottery and porcelain. It was a busy but rewarding time, plenty of travelling and very early starts. During this time it was hard to ignore just how much damage and repair that could be found to all types of pottery when sourcing stock and it was this side of it that caught my interest to the point that I wanted to learn more about the role of the ceramic restorer. I researched into, located and enrolled on a 2 year ceramic restoration course in 1998, being taught by an experienced London restorer and conservator, studio owner and active member of the UKIC (now Institute of Conservation ICON) and I successfully gained my NOCN level 3 accreditation in 'Ceramic Restoration and Conservation' during the summer of 2000. With the basic skills in place, the antique dealing gave way to my new role as a restorer and I started to build Ceramics Restored and laid down the foundations with an aim of supplying quality restoration and making it available to all within the UK, an aim that I am proud to still hold firm to. Since then I have gained lots of valuable experience of many types of wares and procedures, realised a natural ability to matching original colour ways and decor and through this have continued to build on repeat and new business from private clients and insurance work.
