Cathy is a warm and generous teacher, sharing what she has learned and offering her extensive expertise in raku methods with participants. Many people arrive at workshops feeling unsure and tentative or simply saying “I’m not creative – I don’t know where to start”. Cathy gently encourages them all to make a start - to get in touch with the clay, shape it, mould it and begin to give it a new life.
In many ways, she offers people a safe place to express themselves and permission to let the child within play and have a bit of fun. Participants leave feeling thrilled, excited and exhilarated at their creations – made with their own hands and with creativity sparked from within themselves. They often go away able to tell a new story about themselves: “Actually, I can be creative”.
Cathy’s style and approach to familiarising people with clay and what it can do, simplifying the process and then letting them feel their way, produces the magical transitions that make these workshops such special events.
Another great workshop with our Inner Goddess - Thanks to your magic fingers Cathy ! Looking forward to the next one ????

This is the fourth workshop I've attended with Cathy, this time I took a few friends along, I am so proud to introduce them to Cathy, she is patient, creative, kind, fully present and she guided each and every one of us individually with our own creations. The workshop is relaxed and even my friends who claimed to have no artistic talent completed works of art worthy of an exhibition... no exaggeration .. :))) I absolutely love this studio, love Cathy's guidance, I recommend her workshops so highly. I would give her 100 stars if I could :) Thank you Cathy xxx

Cathy's sculpture workshops are superb! She is a calm, patient and highly skilled sculptor and passes on her skills freely. The environment is conducive to enjoyment and creativity with soft music playing and the room is air conditioned. Cathy assists each person to complete their sculpture in their own unique style. I've attended a lot of her workshops and highly recommend them to both beginners and more advanced students.
