Maggie graduated in ceramics in 1976 and went on to do an apprenticeship with one of Bernard Leach’s master potters in Cornwall. Following that she returned to London and set up her own pottery and craft shop. She also taught pottery in a community education centre for many years. She now lives in the Ecovillage Findhorn and works in the Park Pottery where she makes well-designed domestic ware for everyday use. She loves working on the wheel and making simple but beautiful forms. This complements her other work as a writer.
