〰️ When was the last time you got your hands dirty and created something? 〰️

Taking time out from our busy lives and prioritising creativity is an essential human need.

“…we should make things because it’s part of being human…”
Thank you Amie McNee for this wisdom!

〰️ 2 DAY BEGINNERS THROWING WEEKEND 〰️

A great day in the studio, huge amounts of clay, productivity and learning of the basic throwing skills - most people learning from scratch absolutely nailed the centring and pulling up techniques.

Others who already had some practice made progress making big pasta bowls and jugs.

Looking forward to ‘turning’ and refining the pots tomorrow!

Next dates:
