Open Studio Projects
for intermediate makers.

Share your passion for ceramics with like-minded makers, as well as guidance, and support as you need it. 

When you’ve had a some experience in ceramics join this 3 hour Open Studio Projects session. You can work at your own pace to make your own self-directed ceramic projects — perhaps a dinner set, set of cups, sculptural projects or ongoing making. You'll have my guidance, assistance and support as you need it. 

​These weekly group sessions encourage generous sharing of ceramics experience, ideas, experimentation, knowledge and fun. You’ll also learn new skills, techniques and tips and hints to successfully complete your projects. You can try out different clays, glazes, tools, techniques and even gold lustres.​

If you don't have any experience, I recommend that you do my 4 week Start-up for Beginners and you’ll to be ready to start.

  • Carol is the dream teacher: she imparts her extensive knowledge of the skills and techniques required by gently guiding her students to relax and create our own special piece. Her studio is lovely and our time together flew by. Very enjoyable and I will gladly rebook to learn as much as I can from Carol.

  • Carol is an amazing teacher and guide and patiently took me through the three hour class. It was great talking to her and I really enjoyed working on my ceramics!
