Hello Potters!

My name is Penelope, I am a ceramic artist and teacher, and I specialise in throwing large pots, using the coil-throwing technique. I can teach intermediate throwers the basics of this technique in one 3-hour session, and you will have the additional option to get your final pot bisque fired with me.

I have been teaching for a few years now, and have been teaching beginners, intermediates, privates and larger groups, in places like Heatherley’s School of Fine Art, the Clay Garden in Hammersmith, and the Masbro Community Centre.

My background is in film and TV, I was an illustrator, animator, compositor for VFX and matte painter. My conversion to ceramics came after I became a mother, and fits my busy life much better. My discovery of teaching has been one of the most interesting experiences so far, and I’ve been delighted to find myself a passionate and happy teacher.

I can’t wait to teach you my tricks in throwing on the wheel, and how to throw larger pieces without having to start with an easy amount of clay!
