Creation, Presence, and Connection

This is my working space, where clay, intention, and care come together to shape forms that carry reflection, connection, and the quiet magic of everyday life. My practice is rooted in the belief that creativity is a vessel for connection, healing, and remembering our shared humanity.

Through working with clay, I nurture myself while offering guidance and inspiration to others... each piece holding the energy of creation, the rhythm of making, and the presence of an artist who leads through both vision and lived experience. Working with clay is a slow process that unfolds over time, inviting patience, attention, and a deep respect for the material and the self.

Pottery Classes

I host regular pottery and ceramics classes in Central Auckland.

Learn directly from a practicing artist in small, mindful classes designed for all levels. Explore kick wheel throwing, handbuilding, and handbuilt ceramics, experimenting with form, texture, and glazing.

Classes are offered as term courses, one-off workshops, private sessions, and guided group experiences. Each session encourages creative flow, focus, and connection with your own process, in a calm and supportive environment.

Our studio features seven Leach kick-wheels and a Shimpo electric wheel, providing a natural, intuitive way to work with clay. Whether you’re beginning your ceramics journey or deepening your practice, these classes offer space to create, learn, and be inspired.
