My teaching approach

Learn the fundamentals of wheel throwing

I provide hands-on clay demonstrations and plenty of feedback to help you develop your pottery skills. Beginners are welcome. You will throw, trim and glaze your own work.

Challenge yourself and have fun

My studio is a calm space where you can unwind, try something new and learn from your mistakes. You will enjoy the process of crafting your own handmade ceramics.

I am an experienced ceramic artist and teacher. Find my work at R.O.Ceramics on Instagram.

Class information

Classes run weekly during the school terms (eight-week terms). Hand-building workshops and wheel-throwing tasters are scheduled regularly.
