About Us
We started running our pottery classes from our garage in 2020. As our needs have grown and more space was required we moved into the studio on Apollo Drive in 2024 and became Apollo Clay and Art. We have fitted out the studio to accommodate the growing interest in pottery, both wheel and handbuilding. The space is bright and welcoming to create an environment for fun, creativity and a supportive community.
Over the years we have introduced many to the addiction of clay and art, to be able to create something with our own hands. We look forward to continuing to spread our passions and friendships.

My love for teaching began decades ago when I would teach Physio lead exercise classes. I have spent my life being an educator ever since. After a varied career path I found my love of ceramics with the next natural steps to teach and guide others. I find ceramics to be a medative process and one of the most rewarding actvities. There are always new things to learn so the journey continues.
