Meet Your Instructor
I have taught adults pottery skill over many years, all abilities, all ages, with and without additional needs. This has informed my practice, and a space for all is nurtured.
The classes are for people who feel drawn to create but just aren’t sure where to begin, as well as those who want to rediscover a creative part of themselves that has been neglected over the years.
My guidance helps you to explore the ways in which clay can help you to express yourself. There is no pressure to produce perfect pieces, the focus is on enjoyment, curiosity and wellbeing.
Tap into your creativity, here in Norfolk, to make a handbuilt and decorated, beautiful vessel. It’s a great way to be fully present, leaving you recharged after a day of fun and learning.
