PROFILE
I studied at UNSW Art & Design and Bezalel Academy of Art & Design, and have been teaching ceramics for 10 years.
I'm passionate about pottery because it's great for creativity and wellbeing. Wheelthrowing is meditative and fun, and creates a sense of peace, and a connection with nature and the earth. Like martial arts, where you harness your opponent's force and energy, you balance, manage, and build on the spinning force from the pottery wheel, using your own, to make something beautiful.

Leanne was a fantastic teacher who taught us pottery newbies the basics of the pottery wheel. Her instructions were very easy to follow and allowed us to be creative with our design. We had a great day and are excited to see our finished pots after they are fired! Thank you Leanne :)

My partner and i had a wonderfully relaxed Sunday morning learning pottery with Leanne. Leanne made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived and wasted no time in putting us to work!
We really enjoyed the whole experience and recommend Leannes class to all ages.

Leanne is awesome! She is a fantastic teacher - very experienced, attentive and patient. We had a lot of fun and learnt a lot during the 2 hour session. In addition to learning how to make a bowl/cup on the wheel, we learnt a bit about the holistic process. Her studio was cosy and well-equipped. Would recommend checking out Leanne's class!

My friend and I had the best time at Leanne’s pottery class! She was so great at explaining the different techniques to us and allowed us time to practice before making our final product. I can’t wait to see how our bowls turned out. I definitely would recommend Leanne’s class to anyone :)

Cute little studio, had all the tools we needed and a very relaxed environment to learn. Leanne was very friendly and a wonderful teacher. Overall had a great first wheel spinning experience and would definitely come back again!

Fantastic class by an amazing teacher. I can't believe how much I learned and that I actually produced a pot on the wheel in 2 hours. Loved every minute of it. Leanne is extremely talented and is so very good at explaining techniques. If you want to try pottery this is the workshop to do.

The experience was absolutely fantastic! My partner took me for my birthday and it was the best present. She is a fantastic teacher and we absolutely fell in love with pottery. Really recommend this experience for anyone of any age! Super fun
Monica Ireland
Leanne was a great teacher - she was very good at explaining things, and provided a great mixture of demonstrating, but also letting us learn by trying things for ourselves. She also gave us options, so we could tailor the class to exactly what we wanted. She provided all of the equipment and even sent our final products out to us - it was good value for money. Highly recommend!
Elise Slavin
We had such an exceptional experience with Leanne! Her teaching style and instruction was so good and being able to have such a personalised class with her guidance was just amazing - and with a guaranteed product to take away at the end of it too! Can’t wait for our bowls to arrive so we can put them to use! Thank you Leanne!
