Tuesdays 1 July - 8 July 2025: 2 Sessions of Clay Short & Sweet
Clay Experience: 2 Weeks - Short & Sweet
Step into my welcoming Albany artist studio and discover the joy of creating with clay. I hope to create a pottery class for the perfect short escape, offering an inspiring alternative to larger, more crowded term classes.
I specialise in providing a personalised experience, keeping classes small with only 8 spots available. This ensures you receive dedicated, one-on-one guidance, whether you're a complete beginner eager to learn the basics of pottery or an intermediate student wanting to refine your skills in the North Shores’ most intimate ceramics setting.
