I am a recent MA Ceramics & Glass graduate from the Royal College of Art. With my production pottery training background, I had taught extensively prior to coming to RCA for students from different backgrounds.
Whether you are a complete beginner, want to hone your existing pottery skills, build up your application portfolio, or seek a unique creative voice, I can offer what is needed based on my practice and love for teaching and sharing knowledge.
