Your teacher
Hi, I'm Marika, a self-taught ceramic artist based in the picturesque county of Northamptonshire.What started as a hobby has grown into a thriving hand-building pottery studio — classes now fill up fast, and the waiting list keeps growing. I've taught hundreds of beginners and more advanced students the hand-building techniques I love most, always leaning into quirky, fun and colourful projects along the way.I also run private classes for small groups of up to eleven — perfect for birthday parties, unique hen dos, team building days, or family Christmas get-togethers. Whatever you're celebrating, I'll tailor the session to suit your group.Every student creation gets carefully placed on the drying shelf, then loaded into my faithful Rohde Ecotop kiln for a bisque and glaze fire. I look after each piece as if I'd made it with my own hands — because every piece is special, and deserves individual love and care.I spent many years as a full-time art teacher in secondary schools, and I love bringing that same patience and encouragement into my studio. My classes are easy to follow, relaxing, fun, and confidence-building.I also host private group sessions for celebrations of all kinds — get in touch to find out moreOnce you start working with clay, you can't stop :)
