Over the years I have really come to see how intertwined my own ceramic practice has become with my teaching. I love to see my students’ eyes light up when they get inspired by a particular work, and then add their own techniques, style and personality to the things they create.

I am just as passionate about sharing my knowledge as I am about creating my own ceramic objects, and am grateful to meet so many wonderful people along the way.

POTTERY WORKSHOPS

My workshops are designed for everyone - from those who have no clay experience at all to those who want to increase their knowledge and skill set and master new skills. 

Participating in a workshop is a great opportunity for those who have always wanted to have a go at creating something new. They are also a great way to spend a few hours focused and forgetting the world.

Each workshop is based around a specific theme or project, allowing students to make the projects they wish to undertake. However, your own creative style is always encouraged, and slight modifications are totally possible. 

My workshops are social and set in my back yard studio among eucalyptus trees and an array of fruit trees and blossoms. There is a wood fire or heater on in winter, and fans or aircon on in summer if needed.

They are especially fun to do with a small group of friends or family members or come and meet some new ones!

THE STUDIO

Since the start of 2016 my studio is now located in the beautiful Perth Hills, in Wattle Grove. Here I find I am constantly inspired by the amazing native flora and fauna, with large Gum Trees out the back, Carnaby Cockatoos, owls and Kookaburras singing from the top of the hill, and stunning bush trail walks. 

I have a small Gallery space and my Studio is open to the public by appointment.

Please contact me to book a time. Generally available from 1.00pm onwards Wednesday - Sunday, all day Mondays and Tuesdays.
