After a rest from classes and events whilst house alterations were carried out Fran is now getting back to teaching pottery in her studio at Springfield Arbroath again.

“I have had 3 significant pottery experiences in the last 6 months having been in Cerdeira in Portugal with Shirobey Kobayashi, a Japanese teacher, in Oxford for the Oxford University fast fire kiln firing with Dr Robin Wilson, and through February and early March in Milefontes with an international group.  I am keen to share this learning with students and colleagues in the UK.”

There will be at least one 5-day pottery course – one of Fran’s favourite events as students generally make such good progress when they concentrate on making over a longer period.  She is also getting back to teaching a monthly advanced class for those who have worked with her before and we have also planned a few weekends for beginners or more experienced potters who want to improve their skills.
