Workshops
Once a month I run a workshop from my home studio. This is to make a small sculpture such as my Little Artichoke. The workshop is suitable for any level and usually runs from 10 to 4. I only have 2 students at a time so you will get lots of attention and help. You will learn how to model and construct and how to apply colour. By the end of the day you will have completed and coloured your sculpture and then I will fire and glaze it for you. For more details and spaces available please contact me at frances.doherty@gmail.com
School Workshops
If you have a school project coming up, especially if it is related to plants and natural forms, I can offer workshops to get you going.
This can either be in the form of a teachers workshop, to give you lots of useful technical info, good products to use, how to repair, etc etc, or a childrens workshop to start them off and show them lots of different ways to form and decorate the clay.
A combination of the two workshops usually works well especially if the budgets are tight as the teacher can continue with the project with the relevant information to hand.
I have a PGCE and plenty of teaching experience.
Contact me through this website for further details.
Hello Frances,
I´Ve seen your work at Made London. And I´m interested in doing the work experience.
I´m a graphic designer. For the past 4 years I´ve been studying and working on clay as a second activity. Most of my work is handbuilded on stoneware and porcelain.
I moved from argentina to east sussex and I´m setting my studio at home.
Is that possible? Can I have more details please?
Thamk you and I loved your work!
Hi Frances, I go back to uni on the 27th September and would like to have some work experience with you. I am a mature student with two children - so would have to fit around my family. I want to speak to my tutor when I get back but would like some experience either this year or next if thats okay with you. Take a look at my website it will give you more idea of me. Look forward to hearing from you. (saw you at Goddington).
Hello, sorry but by them..did you mean the school?
