Mark makes black and white domestic slipware using a combination of traditional craft and modern industrial ceramic techniques, in a contemporary take on Staffordshire slipware.

He is also experimenting with platinum lustre transfers to exploit the differing reflective qualities of glazed and lustred surfaces.
