Welcome to join me and discover how much fun you can have with a piece of clay on one of my unique short ceramic courses.
On the next page, Workshop diary, you can see the dates planned for spring 2010

Drawing on my 25 years of experience as a ceramic artist and teacher, these small and informal workshops will have you creating unique and amusing work in an easy way, whether you are a complete beginner or have previously worked with clay.

The groups are small, with no more than five participants, and the aim is for you to have fun and produce work you’re really happy with.

The courses are run from my studio in a fantastic period house overlooking historic Hastings Old town.

In the summer the French doors are open towards the garden and the sea, and in the winter months a log fire in the ornate marble fireplace warms the room.

COURSE OPTION TWO: A five session workshop where we focus on techniques covered during previous workshops plus an exploration of unique smoke firing techniques  I have developed over many years using sawdust and galvanised dustbins!
