Your teacher
I don’t think I have ever really grown up, so pottery and ceramics give me a good excuse to play with mud pies. I’m never happier than when I have a huge lump of mud that I am going to transform into something special. The forming of something useful or beautiful [or both] from such as simple material is a magical act and something that never ceases to amaze me.I’ve also realised that I thoroughly enjoy encouraging other people to appreciate the mucky qualities of mud pie making too. So, I teach others how to change lumps of dirt into their own kind of special. I get a tremendous amount of satisfaction from sending people home caked in clay and with broad grins across their faces.I have been teaching for 25 years with more than 20 of those years teaching Art and Ceramics. I have a degree in 3D Design from MMU and a PGCE from Huddersfield University. I have taught people from 5 years old to 95 years old. I have worked in mainstream education, SEND, FE, HE, Artist in Residence and as a freelance educator.I can offer: children’s and other parties, hand building sessions, wheel throwing tuition for individuals or small groups, beginners and improvers sessions.Pottery is therapeutic, fun, frustrating, energising, mesmerising, dirty, and I love it for all those reasons. Come and join me for my pottery sessions and enjoy the opportunity to be a kid again. Get dirt under your nails, up your arms and over the floor and love every moment of it. I would love to see you.
