I passionately believe that everyone has the ability to be creative and love teaching because of this. I get a kick out of seeing students’ faces light up when they see a piece they made fresh from the kiln that they love, especially when they weren’t expecting it to work. I have heard too many people say, “I envy you. I’m just not creative.” including some students when they first arrive. Being creative doesn’t mean being good at art and craft. It’s soooo much broader than that (but I won’t go into that here!).

For myself I love trying new techniques and pushing clay to its limits. I often get asked, “how did you make that?” even by fellow ceramicists. The infinite possibilities of clay as a medium appeals to my need to constantly evolve my work and my love of learning and challenging myself. Teaching adds another layer to that.

Kintsugi Workshop was an excellent class which was easy to follow with a great teacher who is easy to talk to and understand the process being shown. Highly recommend this class.

I bought this course for my wife for our wedding anniversary and we both attended over two weekend days this summer. Paula was amazing, very friendly and encouraging and happy to accomodate our available dates to get the 'build' and the 'firing' days fitted in this year. We both got to create some lovely pieces and the Raku firing itself was every bit as exciting as we had expected. We're hoping to go back and do some more if we can!

Teacher's response

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and it was as exciting as billed! I look forward to seeing you both again soon.

Sarah is incredibly knowledgable about her craft and very patient! I absolutely loved the class and will definitely be booking a Saturday beginners course with her when one pops up.
