Workshops & Lessons
I am very passionate about clay, (you may have noticed) and love to share the joy by teaching. I have many years experience of teaching all age groups and am now excited to offer workshops and lessons at my fabulous garden studio here in Towcester, Northamptonshire.
If you’ve ever fancied having a go, please check details below for up coming workshops, If you want something different, I can usually tailor lessons & workshops to meet your needs, so do get in touch.
Coiling Workshop
Coiling
Saturday 18th April 2020 - Cancelled due to Covid19
10am - 2pm
You will use the hand building method of coiling to create your own vessel and experiment with impressing techniques for decoration. It’s up to you what that vessel is…could be a mug or a small planter or something else of your own design using the coiling method. I like to encourage individuality and will demonstrate techniques to inspire your creation.
Tea, coffee & biscuits provided.
Bring a packed lunch.
£55 per person
This includes all materials, firing and glazing of your work. Work will be ready to collect in 2-3 weeks after the workshop. It will be a small group of 4 people so you get plenty of help from me.
