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.
I had great fun doing the workshop, meeting other people and seeing their work, Cathy is a great teacher.I will certainly recommend it, for something different. A great day overall, and you come out with a piece that is your own creation.

Thank you Cathy for a wonderfully creative workshop! I enjoyed watching my sculpture grow and become what I wanted to achieve. The amazing interior design you have established for the creative space is stimulating and vibrant! Your assistance during the process was so helpful and the fact that you demonstrated showed the process with clarity.Thank you!

Loved the Bathing Beauties workshop. Cathy is very encouraging and helpful and, for a beginner, I learned a lot of techniques in clay sculpture. I will definitely do another workshop with Cathy. They are good value and fun.

Hi What an amazing workshop. Thank you Cathy for your wonderful teaching and support. I can not believe we accomplished so much. Looking forward to doing more workshops

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.

Have learned so much from Cathy's wonderful workshops. She creates a calm, friendly place as well as leading through the sculpture of the day. Everyone creates their own version. This time we made cockatoos. One was black & the others sulphur crested beauties.
