In June 2025, I completed a commission for 64 pots for the renowned US architect and designer Peter Marino for a private project in St Barts (Saint Barthélemy) in the Caribbean.

In 2023 I completed a commission for 45 pots for Peter Marino for his major renovation of the CHANEL boutique in the historic La Mistralée Villa in St Tropez, France.
I have provided pots for Peter Marino many times over the last 25 years, but never on the scale of these two commissions. They were exciting but challenging projects. So, if you’re in St Tropez, the boutique will open every year for the European summer season. Read an article about the project: https://edit.pt/chanel-saint-tropez/
An article on how I make matching groups of my large pots was in the July / August edition of the UK ceramic magazine Ceramic Review, in the section entitled Potter's Secrets
