Welcome to the home of Pottery workshops.
Below you will find details of my up and coming workshops in Derbyshire.
After creating Pottery HOMES house portraits for over 10 years in my home based studio in rural Derbyshire, I am now enjoying sharing my love of clay with others. I have discovered holding small workshops for local people is very rewarding and social - after being in my studio for years! So why not join me for a relaxed and hopefully fun class to learn a new skill and make friends!
I can tailor a workshop to suit you and your friends or colleagues, at a venue of your choice, please email me to discuss.
