This is not just about pottery
It’s about slowing down
and creating something from clay, by hand
petal by petal
I didn’t start pottery because I had time
For a long time, I kept postponing it
There was always something more urgent
something more “important”
Until I realised
if I keep waiting for the right moment
it will never come
So I started
And what I found wasn’t about creativity
It was about slowing down
and being guided through something, step by step
Slowly
Gently
petal by petal
A gentle, step-by-step way of working with clay
That’s how the Petal by Petal method came to life
A simple way of working with clay
where everything is broken down
into small, manageable steps
No pressure
no overthinking
no need to “be creative”
Because often, it’s not that you aren’t creative
It’s just that somewhere along the way
you started to believe you’re not
Just a clear process
you can follow
This is what I now teach
in my workshop
A small, calm space
in the Wimborne area, Dorset
where you’re gently guided
from the very first touch of clay
You don’t need to wait
until you have more time
and you don’t need
to feel ready
You can just begin
Small groups. Limited places.
