Hello 2025

Updated: 4 days ago



Here we are, 3rd week of the new year already! It’s great to be back in the shed, I am excited about what I have planned for this year, and keen to connect with as many fellow clay enthusiasts possible. 



Classes commence this week

Over the break I found myself making a list of items I want to make for around the house, and though this might be a nice way to start the year.  It can be tricky to get yourself started and decide what to make, so I am going to be making a few jugs and pitchers and will be sharing ideas, templates and trying out some different finishing options.

 

If you already have a project in mind and you know what you want to do, then just come on in and we can support your needs as required.


These are the days I am here, and happy to see you when I see you!


Workshops planned

Save the dates!  There are four workshops planned for this year available now on the website.  All workshop sessions are planned to be approx. 3 hours each, and may run overtime

What's coming your way...

A winner will be randomly selected, receiving up to 3 hours tuition free, over two sessions, to bring their drawing to life by making a ceramicj they can enjoy and use at home. 

 


Wishing you a wonderful creative year!
