It is my great delight to share new techniques to students who are interested. Here is paper-resist with coloured slip, mocha diffusion on an alkaline slip and burnishing and buffed terra sigilatta with smoke-firing to finish.

Dm for classes. New term starting this week, but you can join any time. Morning and evening classes in studio environment in Hout Bay.

I'm very proud to be sharing the fired results of the recent sculpture workshop. Some people chose to leave their sculptures raw and unadorned while others smoke- fired, oxide- washed or glazed their work.

If you find just the right tool for the job you hardly notice you're using it. I always say your fingers are the best tools and nothing quite beats the sense of touch and connection with the wonderfully malleable medium of clay, but sometimes tools are the bomb!

Sometimes you just need a little bling! Gold leaf adorning the cracks is so much better than kissing it better with a band-aid! Nthabi doing her thing in the evening class.
