Workshops and Classes

We love making with clay ...

We also know being creative and making things with your hands is especially good for your soul. 

Lea has moved to Strathnairn Arts Centre in the ACT and for now will be running workshops, lessons and master classes at various venues across in the ACT and as a visiting teacher further afield. 

Lea runs workshops on:

 - Finding and making with foraged clay, or wild clay. 

 - Creating interesting surfaces on your ceramics

 - Bringing the local environment into your making

 - Designing and making a dinner setting

and other intermediate wheel throwing techniques

If you would like to host Lea for a workshop at your studio get in touch.

The best way to find out about upcoming workshops is to sign up to the newsletter.

 

What people say about Lea's workshops ...

"Lea facilitated the workshop with great skill, organisation and expertise. While there was an outline of what Lea wanted to cover, she also was able to meet different requests from participants.

Lea allowed people to work to their strengths and explore new learnings as a group. By the end of the workshop there was a great sense of collaboration and connection. Participants readily shared experiences, materials and results. On reflection, my own experiences were fundamental in gaining confidence as an artist and maker. It was well worth travelling 1200kms for" Luisa

"Lea’s Wild Clay workshop is highly recommended for clayworkers who are curious and seeking to connect with place through exploring unpredictable and unique local clays. A basic understanding of clay materials and composition is recommended however not required.

The workshop was fascinating and came with many helpful tips, a crash course into understanding our local geology and basics of locating, testing and augmenting these clays" Bel

The Leggy Workshop with Lea was a perfect balance of fun, creativity, friendly people and delicious food.  I was surprised at how easy it was to make a pot that looks great and that I love. Lea provided the perfect guidance to help it have every chance of success! " Celia

"What a lovely experience! Some of us were beginners and some more experienced. Lea encouraged us all and gave pointers and assistance as needed to guide each of us to making our unique pots. Success was assured with such a calm, quietly spoken and knowledgeable mentor at our sides." Denise
