Group size

Limited to 5 participants for a relaxed, hands-on experience

What you’ll make

1 vase with handles up to W 15 cm H 20 cm


After the workshop, your piece will be left to dry, bisque fired, and then hand-glazed by me before the final firing. Your finished piece will be ready for collection within 3-4 weeks from my studio. I can post them to you for additional P&P fee £12.

DISCLAIMER:

Clay can be a little unpredictable, and very occasionally a piece may crack during drying or firing. While every care is taken to prevent this, it's just part of the pottery process.

Although on a ground floor, the studio unfortunately is not wheelchair-accessible because of the layout and bathroom access.

WHY TO LEARN WITH ME

I'm excited to share my passion and expertise with you. I hold a Master of Design (MDes) specialising in Ceramics and Visual Research, and I've been immersed in the world of ceramics since 2005, honing my skills intensively as a professional designer and maker since 2012. I have designed ceramics for various retail outlets, showcased my work in galleries, and collaborated directly with interior designers. This diverse experience allows me to bring a unique perspective to my workshops, blending artistic expression with practical design applications.

With three years of experience as a ceramics demonstrator at the University of Brighton, coupled with leading numerous workshops across Sussex and in my own studio, I bring a wealth of knowledge and practical insights to my teaching. My approach is in-depth yet always informal, fostering a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment.

I firmly believe in the power of hands-on practice. In my workshops, you'll learn by doing, exploring techniques and discovering your creative potential through direct experience. Join me and together we'll transform your ideas into beautiful, tangible creations.
