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 a fun & productive day at Fried Mudd. Thanks to Cathy’s calm, helpful manner I was able to creative my very own work of art. Thanks so much Cathy!

A great workshop Cathy. Thanks to your attention and assistance everyone achieved the goal of making a bathing beauty - even those who were new to clay. I'll definitely come to another workshop.

A wonderful 2 day workshop creating a crosslegged girl. Cathy is a marvellous teacher and guided us through the process with skill, and kindness. All her workshops are a relaxing experience. I've done quite a few and am always delighted with the finished sculpture, bird, animal or bathing beauty

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.
