I have experience teaching complete beginners in how to throw on the potters wheel in person and have 90% success rate.
If this is a skill you wish to learn then commitment is required and you will need to have access to your own wheel to practice. I can point out and discuss techniques also through an on-line lesson and I am happy to do live demonstrations.
I also have a vast knowledge on clay (including wild clay) and on the use of clay for sculpture.
I can take you through your process of research in preparing your sketch book and how that can influence your work.
If I don’t have the answer I will strive to get you an answer or source you another way to find out.

My own practice is a Ceramic Landscape Artist with an anthropological approach to research and I am currently doing a residency. I especially love the Ulster Coastline and my work is inspired by place and
