Creative Clay Classes

Jacqueline teaches regular classes where adults come to explore the world of pottery.  Her teaching style is supportive and calm, and classes are mixed level.  Having a keen interest in art-as-therapy, her focus is on enabling your innate creative ability rather than producing a product.


The studio is well equipped with all you need to learn basic techniques, nurture creativity, and develop your own unique style.

With a keen interest in well-being through creativity, Jacqueline runs The Artist's Way course regularly as well as other one-off creative offerings.

CLASSROOM BASED CREATIVITY
