Classes, in a friendly group or privately.
Choose between
-joining a small friendly group on a set date [Book here, via ClassBento]
-or set up your own date, time & group in my studio via the listings on the classes tab on this website for a small group, generally max is 4 or 6 Browse classes
-or in an additional space at Thames-side my studio for a larger group.
All prices include materials, firing and glazing. Work is collected from either SE18 or SE7 around four weeks after class.
Children are extremely welcome but let's chat, they generally need a sat space and a shorter class but a discussion will clarify what we both need.
I have taught under fives, SEN students, children, teens, adults, over 80's, vulnerable adults, GCSE students and at university level. I've taught community groups, privately and in schools. I run sessions which animate museum & archive collections, create community and support well-being outcomes. I also teach small business skills / building cost & profit sessions.

Terms and Conditions of booking:
Group bookings: I run small inclusive closely tutored classes where I encourage companionship & encouragement for all. It is significantly impactful if I lose any bookings that I cannot refill where I need to continue with the date due to the other bookings. When booking yourself into a group class: 20 days or more before the start date of a course or session I can provide a full refund (minus a £5 booking fee). Between 21 and 14 days prior to the start of a course or session I can refund 50% of the total fees paid (minus a £5 booking fee). I sadly can't provide a refund in the last two weeks before the start date of the course or session. I am of course v happy for you to send someone else in your place.
Private bookings: if you need to postpone the session I am as flexible as possible with finding a new date, I do understand how complex our lives & re-gathering a group can be! It's easier to find new dates before the Autumn / Christmas rush starts and be mindful that I have some weekend markets and other commitments already booked.
Group classes
In my studio this will generally be around 4 people if not explicitly stated. I like students to have space for working and for spreading out tools and sketchbooks etc. I have a double workbench facing another double workbench and then two other double workbenches. Let me know if you need sat space or any specific learner needs that I can help with.
Private classes
Can be booked with arrangement to your own timings weekdays, weekends, evenings, whenever it fits with your life style or special date. If you need a larger group I can hire a bigger space and take what we need in there-it is very close to my studio in a beautiful room overlooking the river, it can be dressed and made to feel festive.
