Penelope Batley originally trained as a geologist specialising in platinum exploration, with a keen interest in archaeology, ship-wrecked fragments and marine life.  This influence stemmed from her father and grandfather who collected Ming fragments from their home beaches in South Africa and had a love of Ottoman and Byzantine art and craft.  She enjoys exploring the contact between buried pottery and the sea life and sediment which envelops it.
