Tuition
I do enjoy teaching and working in small groups and one-on-one to help people to play to their strengths, develop new skills and have fun with clay. Beginners to serious potters are all welcome. I am, however, reducing my teaching time so that I can have some ‘me time’ in my favourite place (my studio!), and see more of family and friends. For this reason, spaces are limited.
Sessions are bespoke for you, and designed to help you to correct and improve your technique, as well as to learn tips and hints along the way. I am willing to work with anyone, from a complete novice to someone who is experienced and wants to hone their skills or learn specific techniques. You will be taken through all stages required and be actively involved throughout the process.

Thank you so much for a lovely pottery session yesterday. John and I loved it. You looked after us so well
and we came away feeling we had learnt a lot and content to have made something we felt rather proud of!
Ann and John
Thank you again for such a lovely day on Saturday! We both had such a lovely time,
and Mum really liked it! I really appreciate you making it such a special day for her!
The brownies were delicious too!
