“The class was full of fun and laughter, Lauren created such a welcoming, easy-going atmosphere that it felt like catching up with an old friend.... The cheese and wine were the perfect added bonus... We all walked away smiling, proud of what we’d made, and with great memories from the day.”

Pottery
I can tailor to all skill types, and will make sure you are able to grow your ‘new’ or ‘practiced’ hand building pottery skills. You will be taught hand building basics… How to make a pinch pot, how to coil with clay, attach handles, legs etc. and how to make sure your pieces won’t blow up in the kiln! I promise you’ll leave having created three beautiful pieces, anything from a mug to a vase, a bowl to a platter! It is up to you to let your imagination take over.
Jewellery
You will be taught jewellery basics… How to make findings, string, wire + attach. And don’t worry, I will be helping with design and assembling each of your pieces. You will have access to a beautiful collection of pearls, handmade ceramic beads, colourful glass beads + high quality gold filled and sterling silver silver jewellery findings. Everything you need to create anything from earrings, bracelets, necklaces… ect.

Lauren has tried to make sure in all decisions made; from the way pieces are crafted, to how a workshop event runs, the environment is at the core. This has led Lauren to partnering with One Tree Planted.
