Narelle specialises in wheel work, but over the years has built up a respect and appreciation for hand building. Creating natural, rustic pieces with an old world charm, and occasionally using a pop of colour. As Narelle says, "in classes you’ll find I have lots of energy to burn and lots of knowledge to share, with a few bad jokes thrown in."
Peter is an experienced ceramic artist with almost 30 years experience working as a potter in his own studio where he utilises a range of techniques specialising in wheel throwing, handbuilding and woodfiring. Teaching pottery is an important part of Peter’s practice, an opportunity for him to share what he has learnt and in doing so refine his own work and techniques.
Join our workshops solo or alongside friends, family or colleagues as a team-building and bonding experience. As no prior experience is needed, pottery can be a fun and relaxing experience for anyone, making it a perfect activity for when you're looking for something that everybody will enjoy.
