Hand building with clay - 5 week pottery course

A fun and creative 5-week pottery course designed to nurture connection and wellbeing through clay.

Why This Course?

As someone who understands the challenges of work–life balance and the emotional load carried by parents, carers and community workers, Saskia offers this course as a way of giving back to the community.
