Sally's work is mostly thrown or slab work, made in white stoneware, allowing for coloured, porcelain slips, that she uses for decoration. Inspiration comes mostly from land or seascapes, flora and fauna. Sally uses a stencil machine to make some of the scenic content, then some sgraffito is added to give more depths to the image. Another strand to Sally's work is some long-standing mug designs, with animal handles cast from her own moulds, with more detail added by hand afterwards to make this everyday item an extra special vessel. The idea of animal handles originally came from Sally's interest in gargoyles and ornamental additions to churches and other buildings. This was at one time the way of waterspouts to carry away the water, similar to our present day guttering. The interest in these handles led on to green men sculptures, and many other designs including animals or grotesque faces as extra interest to the surface of a pot.
