Earth's Clay

Earth's Clay My studio is located in a beautiful tranquil environment. I’ll take you through hand-building tech It's all about being relaxed and finding your happy place.

In the beginner's class you will learn about preparing your clay, and techniques you can use to make your forms, from pinching to coiling and building with slabs. First, you build with soft clay, the first lesson we normally do two items, nothing too difficult as that comes later. The clay then dries until it's 'leather hard', at which time you can finish by stamping, carving, imprinting, etc. The

items are then left to become bone dry (usually a few days). After that, they are placed in the kiln to be 'bisque' or 'biscuit' fired. At this stage, you can apply your glaze. It is then fired again - this time at the higher final temperature. ABOUT MY CLASS

I usually have two to four students in my class but I'm also running a one-to-one pottery class, but you're always welcome to bring a paying friend or even two along. For more information visit my website:

ALL ABOUT EARTH’S CLAY and VÉRONIQUE

Ceramic Pottery & Slumped Glass Studio - Johannesburg, South Africa

Pottery for me is a form of meditation; I can get lost for hours creating my designs and listening to relaxing music. The challenge of making something new and inspiring is the driving force behind my work. I love creating something where the end result is totally unknown until the moment the kiln is opened.

I was born in a small town in North Eastern France, on the border with Luxembourg, and came to South Africa while still quite young. After matriculating I worked on a Kibbutz for a year and then spent time in North Africa, Europe, West Africa and finally London for the next thirteen years!!

When our daughter was born we thought it was time to come home to SA.
