Hello I have an update! I didn’t renew my website so please email [email protected] or DM if you want to place an order or check if I have anything available in studio. My studio time is still pretty limited at the moment so I’ll need at least 3 months to complete any orders. If it’s not urgent you are welcome to place one.

This year I’ll just be doing decorative workshops. Thats the two hour one where I pre-make your tumbler, plate or mug and you get to paint, carve and make it your own. You provide the location with a minimum of 8 people.

I haven’t posted anything in a long time, there’s not much happening in my studio these days so here’s my summer album 🌞 It was filled with sunshine, beach days, camping with friends and going for walks and swims.

Come join me for a fun, creative morning at my next workshop in Ōākura — next Saturday, 25th October, from 10am to 12pm.

$75 per person

Choose to decorate a pre-made porcelain tumbler, mug, or plate — I’ll bring everything you need to paint, carve, and make it your own. Come make a Christmas gift, or create a piece to keep and treasure for years. No experience needed — anyone can do it. Come with an idea, or just show up and make it up as you go. I’ll guide you through every step.

After the workshop, I’ll glaze and fire your pieces in my kiln. They’ll be ready to collect in a few weeks.

Book your summer ceramics workshop!

I’m now taking bookings for workplace Christmas parties, team-building events, bridesmaids’ gatherings, and private workshops over the next few months. It’s a great way to do something hands-on, creative and fun with your group.

Workshops are $75 per person. I’ll bring your choice of porcelain tumblers, mugs or plates — along with everything you need to paint, carve, decorate and make them your own. The sessions usually run for around 1.5 to 2 hours.

Ideal group size is between 8 and 16 people — but if you have a smaller or bigger group, just let me know and we’ll work something out.

You’re welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks, or I can organise catering through my friends at Theory Food.

Expect a relaxed, playful atmosphere — a fun way to hang out, connect and share a few laughs. You’ll get to make something special — whether it’s a personalised Christmas gift or a piece to keep and treasure for years. No experience is needed at all — anyone can do it. Come with an idea, or just show up and make it up as you go along. I’ll guide you through every step.

After the workshop, I’ll glaze and fire all your pieces in my kiln. They’ll be ready to collect in a few weeks.

To book your workshop, email [email protected] or send me a DM

Here’s a collection of life from the last few months . I haven’t found much time for the studio this year. I have been busy with a two year old and growing a new addition to the family 🥰

Do get in touch if you would like to place a custom order, I’ll be working away slowly on these over the next few months.

I haven’t created much myself this year, but I’ve run two decorative slip workshops that I’ve really been enjoying. This morning, I unloaded the pieces from the glaze firing, and it’s just as exciting as when it’s my own work! I’ll share some photos next week once everyone gets their pieces back.

In the meantime, here’s some work I made late last year that I’ve finally uploaded to my website
