Maker's bio

I have been an artist for over 25 years with a specific interest in Japanese art and culture. This led to a fascination with Japanese ceramics and now I enjoy creating unique hand built and decorative pieces that are rooted in traditional Japanese techniques with a specific interest in Kurinuki and Kintsugi. I love the meditative effect of these traditional crafts and the unique and often surprising results they produce. My little studio/workshop opened in 2021 and is situated in a converted stable in the grounds of Wolvey Hall, a Grade II listed building. The perfect place for creativity.

Sarah reviewed: Kintsugi Workshop for beginners

"Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with Lucy in her studio. She was very informative at every step of the process, she provided all of the materials (including homemade cakes!). Would highly recommend for a unique experience."

Phil reviewed: Kintsugi Workshop for beginners

"Lovely course - I enjoyed every minute of it. Very nicely paced, lots of individual attention, and lots of interesting background. And a decorative piece to take home! I would certainly recommend this course."

Di reviewed: Kintsugi Workshop for beginners

"I did a Kintsugi course run by Lucy yesterday, it was really well organised, clear instructions and we all came away with a completed Kintsugi bowl. I’d taken a couple of broken items, a jug which I repaired with Lucy’s help and a large dish which she told me how to repair at home. So I very happily came away with a bowl, my repaired jug and the knowledge to be able to repair the dish. She even sold kits with everything, so no struggling to find the right tools and materials for your next project. "

"Great course, really well paced and very nice to come away with a finished item at the end. Lucy was very friendly, knowledgeable and interesting, and gave really clear information at all stages, lots of help and encouragement. Would recommend. "
