Hello I’m Emily a potter and basketweaver from South London. I have a passion
for sharing my skills with others. It is my belief that no matter how old you
are, creativity is an important form of expression, a tool to communicate. It’s
something we all have within us but often shy away from or feel self conscious
about. But it needn’t be this way! To be expressive in any form is empowering
and uplifting. And certainly in today’s busy world it’s important to find ways
to switch off our brains and be in the moment. The ability to use your hands and
create something tangible that expresses a part of you or unleashes a hidden
skill you didn’t know you had is so rewarding both for the maker and me the
teacher. Whether that’s making a simple mark on a page, digging a nail into a
soft piece of clay or weaving a form with a piece of willow, there is a way into
the creative world for everyone and I enjoy being able to offer my workshops for
all ages and abilities.
