COURSES FOR ADULTS
POTTERY COURSES
I teach 6 and 8 week wheel throwing courses at Northcote Pottery Supplies in Brunswick and Camberwell Community Centre, Camberwell. The NPS course is a 6 week structured course where I will take you through centering clay on the wheel, pulling up walls and glazing your works. Each week you'll get to practice and up-skill yourself and learn about the ceramic process. CCC is a more relaxed class where you will be guided by myself to create the ceramic masterpiece of your dreams!
In both classes you will feel supported to create, learn and extend your knowledge in a fun and engaging atmosphere. Each course runs alongside the school term.
Want to make serving ware or larger pieces but don’t quite have the muscle to centre the large amount of clay needed? Let me show you how to ‘throw’ a large bowl and plate on the wheel using a variety of techniques and moulds!
This workshop is perfect for those wishing to add another technique to their tool box. Using a combination of hand-building techniques and wheel throwing, this session will focus on throwing a large serving bowl/plate and adding a foot using wet clay.
Looking to take the next step in your ceramics journey? Learn how to set up your own studio with me! Whether in a shared space or a home studio, proper studio management is essential part of the ceramic practice. In this 2 hour seminar, I will take you through important safety and clean-up considerations, reclaiming processes, safe kiln operations and many handy tools and techniques for setting up your very own studio!

I bought this as a birthday gift for my partner and he loves it! The design is fantastic and eye-catching! The small holes in the body of the piece omit cute little beams of light that help create really nice moody lighting. Extremely well-crafted!
Thanks for letting me know! I craft every piece with love and care - I am so glad you can appreciate that too :)
We've always been a butter on the bench family and Adele's butter bell has been such a wonderful addition to our daily routine. Beautiful to look at, hold and perfectly crafted. Thank you!
You're so welcome Kylie. Honored to be a part of your daily routine :)
I contacted Adele last minute to pick-up in person and she was so helpful and friendly! Bought two tumblers for my mum and she loves them, beautifully made.
I'm so glad she loves them. Thanks for letting me know :)
