  • 5/5 from Charlotte Burns, attended Oct 2024: I had booked in this ceramics mobile workshop hosted by Leah for my sister’s Hens Party - it was absolutely beautiful and so much fun! Leah was amazing and a great teacher, going through the basic fundamentals of ceramics before letting us all go on a creative journey of our own to create our own pieces. Leah provided Everything we needed, we didn’t need to lift a finger! Would highly recommend booking this for any kind of special event or occasion. Thank you Leah!

  • 5/5 from Danae Bradley, attended Nov 2022: We had such a great time for our team end of year party! Leah was patient, informative and hosted a really fun and enjoyable class! Looking forward to seeing our creations :-)
  • 5/5 from Sarah Kruse, attended Nov 2022: We had a great time with Leah! She came out to our house and bought everything with her that we needed. Leah showed us clearly how to use the clay to make something that was functional, but also allowed our creativity to flow. We also loved that we were able to choose a colour and for our work to be kilned too. Most of us were able to make at 2-3 items each. Well worth the price of the lesson :)
  • 5/5 from Desiree Kinnes, attended Apr 2022: Leah was so helpful, patient and went above and beyond to make sure all pottery participants were happy with their efforts. Everyone loved the workshop and would highly recommend Leah for more in the future :)
  • 5/5 from Nicola Steward, attended Dec 2021: Leah was very friendly and approachable. Easy to communicate with and book. She was extremely attentive to the group, helping and encouraging everyone with their creations. Everyone is excited to see how they turn out once fired and glazed

Hi my name is Leah Bright and I am a practicing artist and a teacher. For as long as I can remember I have loved to create artworks. I majored in Sculpture at University, creating large scale works and today my focus is using the combination of ceramics, drawing and painting. Ceramics is a process that completely grounds me. I love to discover it nuances, textures and ability to take on integral forms and structures.
I have a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts and a Dip Ed in Teaching. I have been practicing as an artist for 20 years and have been teaching in a Secondary School for 17 years. After majoring in sculpture at University, I discovered the love for how things are structured and formed.
The concept of Slow Life Workshops has grown from a desire to reconnect with the quiet self, whilst creating art in a magical setting. All workshops are held in inspirational environments. These locations are chosen for their beauty and their ability to transcend people on their personal journey.
Teaching art is a wonderful opportunity to share knowledge about skills and processes and to help facilitate individual’s to explore their inner artist. My teaching style is energetic and enthusiastic where students are encouraged to let themselves evolve.
