I have a lot of plans for 2025 and can’t wait to get into my humble home studio in Lilydale, Victoria to start making with clay. I am offering cute hand building workshops and one on one pottery wheel lessons from my studio! If you have been wanting to try a new creative hobby or prioritise more ‘me time’ these offerings might just be for you.

So, 2021 certainly feels like a distant dream (or maybe nightmare?) now! Seems like everyone is already full steam ahead into 2022. We’re all trying to hype ourselves up to go back to work even though we’d all rather be relaxing and spending quality time with friends and loved ones for a tiny bit longer.

In this article I’ll take you through the different types of tools I use in my studio and their purpose. This is a great resource for beginning your collection or building on your existing tools.

I’ve asked a handful of local creatives to share their favourite tools as well!

After all of these lockdowns it’s easy to feel isolated and starved of face to face human connection.

I want to be able to provide others with the opportunity to connect with people they wouldn’t normally be able to connect with, have fun while not scrolling their phones and to take a mental health break from life in general even if it’s just for a few hours. For me, offering workshops is all about the connection with others. Of course you’re learning new skills and being creative which I absolutely love, but I get the most enjoyment out of seeing you guys have a blast and take some time for you. I’ve got some fun hand building workshops coming up in September suitable for complete beginners so if you’ve been thinking about taking a class, this is your sign!
