Be sure to save this info in your browser for easy future access.

You’ll have access to pottery technique courses for 90 days and professional development courses for 6 months, from the date of purchase. You can watch the course as much as you like during that time, and on any devices you own.

You should be able to make everything I demonstrate using the basic pottery tools you already have on hand. So as long as you have some clay, and your standard pottery tools (wire cutter, knife, sponge, rolling-pin, and a board to work on), you’ll be good to go. One thing you will need access to is a kiln to fire your finished work. If you want to know more about the tools I use most in my work, check out this video.

The Makers’ Spark pottery membership is for folks who are looking for inspiration and support in their ceramic journey. It’s also for people who want to connect with other makers and learn new techniques and tips from a bad-ass professional potter, artist and creative entrepreneur (that’d be me, Naomi 🤓)

As a Makers’ Spark member, you get access to the existing library of workshops ($250+ value!), a new workshop every month, and a live monthly Q&A session. All for less than the price of a regular workshop!

All workshops will be available in Naomi’s School on the learning platform Thinkific. When you sign-up, an account will be created for you so you have immediate access to the workshop library, and all future workshops. Plus, you’ll get access to a monthly private membership Q&A session where you can ask all your questions! If you've taken past workshops with me, the membership will simply get added to your existing account (provided you sign up with the same email address).

Currently, the community aspect of this membership will live in the existing Naomi’s Clay Workshop Group on Facebook. Members will be encouraged to join this private forum, and share images and questions using a membership-specific hashtag. This hashtag will be given priority in the group for answering questions, and work may also be featured in future newsletters.

You have access to the membership workshops as long as you are a member in good standing.* This includes all future workshops that may be taught as part of the membership experience. As the membership grows, you'll get access to all the new content for the same low price you join at today. Pretty great eh?

Don’t worry! All Q&A sessions and workshops will be recorded and you’ll have access to them for as long as you remain a member. Plus, you will be able to submit questions in advance in case you can’t make the live session.

The membership is currently closed to new folks, but you can get your name on the waitlist to be the first to know when doors re-open. Pro tip: waitlist folks get access to early bonuses, so it’s worth signing up.

I use Standard Ceramics 266 stoneware. It is a nice, plastic clay to work with, and fires to a lovely chocolate brown colour. This clay is a bit temperamental in terms of firing and glazes, so it is not one I recommend for beginners, or those who do not have control over their own firings.

All of my work is hand-built from textured slabs of clay. Slabs are created using a slab roller, and then textured with bisque stamps I made, and various other texture tools. For some of the forms such as cups and mugs, I use templates I have created. Other forms such as bowls and plates, are created using bisque molds that I made myself.

All of my work is decorated at the leather hard stage using a combination of coloured Amaco Velvet underglazes and white slip. Decorative elements in my work are derived from newspaper cut-outs that act as both a stamp and a resist when decorating. These cut-outs are generated from text from old family correspondence and ephemera. Letters are digitally scanned, enlarged, and then laser cut into newsprint.

Once the work is bisque fired, it is then glazed on the outside with a clear glaze that I mix myself.

All of my work is fired twice in an electric kiln. I bisque fire to ^04, and glaze fire to ^5.

There are lots of different ways to work with me! I teach virtual workshops covering a range of Pottery Techniques.

But if you're specifically looking to work 1:1 with me, I teach a 5-month, in-depth mentorship program. I offer this program once a year, and it is by application only. You can learn more about that here.

I also have a limited number of 1:1 coaching sessions available here.

The reality is that this is something that takes time to develop. It's a combination of following your interests and instincts, and learning how to really look at, and critique your own work.

I offer two programs that help jump-start this process:
