POTTERY CLASSES
Get your hands dirty ... in the best way
My pottery workshops are all about slowing down, playing with clay, and discovering what your hands can create. Whether you’re trying the wheel for the first time, hand building a sculptural piece, or just here for a creative reset, you’ll be guided step-by-step in a relaxed, welcoming space. Expect laughter, learning, and a little clay on your shoes. No experience needed!,  just curiosity and a willingness to let go of “perfect.”

TEXTILE WORKSHOPS
Felting, Silk Painting, & Dyeing
Textile work is quiet magic and was my first crush! My workshops invite you to slow down and connect with fiber in an intuitive, hands-on way. Whether you're learning to paint your first scarf, experimenting with hand-dyeing, or trying felting, you’ll leave with both a finished piece and a deep appreciation for the textures and traditions behind it. No stress, no pressure, just you, the materials, and a bit of creative flow.
BOOK NOW
​Each class covers the core principles of making your piece "from start to finish" along with various techniques to explore along the way. Most workshops take place in my cozy Stouffville studio (just north of Toronto), but I also offer mobile sessions at client locations for private events, team gatherings, or special occasions.
Interested in a private or a group session? Call (905) 960-8628 and let’s plan something creative!
