Leanne Berelowitz
Ceramic artist
I studied at UNSW Art & Design and Bezalel, and have been teaching ceramics for 10 years.
I'm passionate about pottery because it's great for creativity and wellbeing. Wheelthrowing is both 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. Handbuilding is awesome too, as clay is malleable, tactile and easy to mold into any form.

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!

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!

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 :)

I needed to get a better understanding of materials and techniques best suited to my project and Leanne was a wealth of information and advice accumulated over years of experience and experimentation which she shared freely. I am so happy that it was better than I expected!

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!
