Who am I?
Out of curiosity, I enrolled in a pottery night class in my early 20's while working in The Netherlands. That was a few years ago now and thanks to a host of professional potters/tutors from around the world, I learnt essential hand building and wheel throwing skills, mould making and slip casting, decorating and various firing techniques. My passion for pottery continues to grow and I enjoy passing on my skills and enthusiasm for this art form to anyone interested in experiencing working with clay, whether it's a once-only experience of for the purpose of learning more.
