About your Tutor Fiona McLeod:

I am happiest with my arms in clay working on something challenging. I am based in Castlecliff and love having the beach on my doorstep. I try to use my environment to inspire me in my work and love to bring bits from the beach for my students to imprint into clay. I teach pottery skills with adults and children and love to see the creativity from both age groups. I enjoy colour and try to incorporate it whenever appropriate. I also aim for my functional pieces to be best fit for its purpose and always looking to improve function where I can. You will find me at the riverside market some weekends or at my studio in Castlecliff.
