Childswickham House Pottery Studio 1998 – 2009
After my introduction to sculpting with clay while I was still in Hungary, it was at Childswickham House Pottery Studio I began learning from the resident potter there, developing my skills with hand-building, glazing, fusing glass, slip moulds and wheel work. I worked on and created hundreds of items that would be sold both in the studio and at various events.
Worcester Arts Workshop 2014 – 2021
From 2014 I began to teach adult classes and would work with special groups like NHS Early Intervention Service for young adults. This is where I really began to notice how therapeutic working with clay was for a variety of people. This continued as I met younger students when I started children’s classes and connected with home-schooling groups some of which included children with different learning difficulties and mental health challenges.
In 2017 I enrolled some of my children in my class into a contest held by Harrison Clark law firm in Worcester for which children
In 2018, I was able to organise an exhibition within the Worcester Arts Workshop for the parents and family members of my children’s class students to view the great work they had created. This was a very valuable and inspiring time for me as a tutor!
Project Work
As part of the Schools Showcase 2019 I led workshops with students from six Worcestershire Schools as part of a project titled “Inspiration from the Greats. Children based their artwork on ideas taken from Edgar Degas’ “Ballerina”, Vincent Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers and Cottages” and collages by Gustav Klimt. The children used a combination of acrylic pain on canvas with various recycled materials such as buttons, beads, news clippings and wrapping paper to add a three dimensional element to their work, which was later exhibited in Pershore’s Number 8 gallery.

Arts & Wonder (Creative Partnership) 2021 – 2024
Shortly after the Worcester Arts Workshop closed permanently, I started a creative business partnership with my former volunteer, Katie. We delivered ceramics and multi-disciplinary art classes and workshops for children from the age of 5, adults and family sessions. Our activities ranged from structured and guided projects to more freeform sessions depending on students confidence and ability. Classes & workshops were delivered from the Claines Institute, Worcester Cathedral and the annual Worcester Show. Across the years we ran Saturday clubs for youngsters, evening classes for adults and various holiday themes workshops for families to all get involved in being creative together!
