After working as a ceramicist for a number of UK companies, he established a workshop in his native Merseyside in 1988. There, until 1995, he produced thrown tin-glazed tableware while also lecturing part-time at Wirral Metropolitan College. From 1995 until mid-1997 he produced ceramics from a workshop in Bermuda, before returning to re-establish his workshop in Merseyside.

The work is thrown in stoneware, earthenware, porcelain and raku clay combinations, with turning kept to a minimum. The work is then fired to Cone 5. The main emphasis is on form, using dry, matt and textured glazes to enhance the work and to give it an ageless quality.

Simon’s work is exhibited at a number of galleries in the UK.
