From the moment we are born, we rely on our hands to perceive the world

Pottery is one the oldest human inventions stretching back hundreds and hundreds of years. This ancient practice was initially embraced for practical purposes, however it has now evolved for both its practical and artistic qualities.

The simple pleasure of touching and moulding clay brings pure joy!

What started as a hobby, quickly turned into a passion!

There is something quite magical about clay! Using your hands to create beautiful from literally a lump of clay is one of the most joyful things. I wanted to create a beautiful space where I could share this joy with others.

The Pottery Shed is place to come, sit, laugh, create and connect.
