Veronica's decorative jugs, bowls, vases and boxes are thrown to exploit the qualities of fineness and transparency that are special to porcelain.

All Veronica's pots are handthrown and Veronica likes to push the clay to its limits, trying to capture the fluidity of the wet clay and exploit its translucency after firing.

She alters many of the shapes by carving or cutting and folding the rims. Some vases are left to dry hanging upside down so that the rims fall into naturally wavy shapes. Many pieces are glazed only on the inside, exploring the contrast between glazed and unglazed surfaces.

Her landscape range includes vases and bowls with coloured clay added during the throwing to form random effects reminiscent of sea, sky and mountain landscapes.

She also makes naturalistic porcelain leaves, some glazed, some unglazed. These leaves complement the flower-like quality of the vases and make unusual table ornaments.

All the pots are fired in an electric kiln.
