We have been amateur potters for some years (whilst working full time at our unrelated day jobs) primarily by attending adult evening classes (before the local authority closed them down!). Several years ago we decided to buy our own electric wheel so that we could do some pottery at home. Since then it has grown into a real passion including gaining 3D design qualifications

Suzanne has recently been able to give a little more time over to her ceramic artistry as she now works part time at her other day job instead of full time. Neil remains a hobby potter only as he has a full time day job still.

We have gradually grown in experience and skill, aided by occasional short courses. Many of our friends (and relatives) have told us how they like our work, and with their encouragement we started to exhibit our work at shows.

Both of us hold Level 2 and Level 3 City & Guilds Certificates in Ceramics.  Suzanne’s second degree is a Master’s Degree in Teaching & Learning in Higher Education, now being applied to teaching an evening class/one day class  in ceramics and pottery!
