JASMINE POTTERY STUDIOS

Hi! I'm Naomi I am a community art tutor, potter and mum!

 

I started my journey working as a freelance tutor in adult learning within the community delivering art and pottery workshops with a diverse range of groups around West Yorkshire. I have a real passion and love for clay and my aim is to make clay workshops accessible for EVERYONE! 

​

Keen to improve my teaching and learning skills I went on to achieve a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in life long learning. I believe that clay can be a great tool for improving well being, building social skills, self expression, fine motor skills and personal enjoyment for both adults and children. 

​

Since my degree I have set up my own studios 'Jasmine Pottery Studios' where I have fully transformed an empty shop space in Wakefield to be a fully functioning pottery studios. 

​

Since opening in April 2019 I have been running workshops for both adults and children in clay making, wheel throwing and pottery painting. I have also run workshops for local charities and special events. 

​

I have now just become a mum giving birth to my beautiful baby boy Rocco on 01/01/2020. Who so far has been a great help around the studio providing me lovely hand and footprints.

 

During lockdown my other half who previously worked as a high school teacher unfortunately lost his job due to the school he taught at closing down. So we welcomed dad on board in our little family run studio. Since we teamed up we are now offering a fantastic new online service, with our new clay at home kits with online tutorials, so you no longer need to be local to enjoy our clay activities. Our clay at home activity packs can be posted nationwide anywhere in the UK. 

​

Recognising the huge effects that lockdown has had on the creative industry we wanted to support artists by creating a handmade artist gift shop in our studio. We now have a selection of lovely crafts available to buy.
