Earth.Water.Fire
Studio
Create in Clay
Pottery is born from the interaction of earth, water, and fire. The potter plays a vital role in this process, embodying the fourth element—air or spirit. This blend of elements transforms raw materials into beautiful creations, reflecting the potter's intention and artistry where each piece tells a unique story. Discover and nurture your own creative spirit in a warm and welcoming environment.
Classes & Workshops
Join weekly pottery classes "Hands & Clay", working at your own pace while I guide you through your projects. These could involve a variety of hand-building techniques or throwing on the wheel. Enjoy teas, coffee and treats, with all materials and electric kiln firings included. Come and create beautiful pieces in a supportive environment!
Cost: 6 sessions £180
(Tuesdays 10am - 1pm)
Workshops focused on a single clay project or combining pottery with another craft will be available a few times a year.
