Regular Workshops

Love throwing pots? Come join my regular students!

In these workshops, you’ll spend more time on the wheel, practicing hand movements, learning turning techniques, and start the challenge of centering your own pots.

Open Studio

After completing the regular workshops, students are invited to join open studio. These self-directed sessions allow students to refine their skills, develop their unique style, and work on personal projects.

While open studio is self-guided, I’m always working around the studio and on hand for support.

Each open session is £25 for 2 hours, including all materials and firing.
