Maker's bio

Geraldine Francis is a ceramacist who runs tutored classes at Parnella House an 18th Century House, run by White Horse Arts in the historic market town of Devizes. She has many years of experience in teaching ceramics and works from the studio as well as in the community, bringing the opportunity to work in clay to many people. From those in care homes to children's nurseries, Geraldine delivers ceramics and pottery sessions to suit all ages and abilities. She offers tuition in all aspects of working in clay including sculpture and throwing on the wheel. Geraldine is from a fine art ceramics background and her own work is on display in the studio and includes thrown work as well as sculpture and tiles. If the studio venue is not suitable to your needs as you are a large group or have members of your group who require access for wheelchairs etc, Geraldine is happy to arrange an alternative venue.

Amie Batchelor-Watkins reviewed: Pottery & Ceramics Ad hoc sessions, Learn when you want

"Geri was very accomodating, naturally enthusiastic about her subject and adapted to everyone's needs in our family. We booked a session with very little notice and managed to get simple but classic dishes made in the limited window we had available in Devizes. The studio was well equipped and had examples for inspiration. I look forward to booking another session with Geri in the future. My daughter left her watch and Geri kindly ensured she would send this back with our pottery as a kind gesture. thank you"

Geraldine Francis Ceramics responded:

"Thank you Amie, so please you enjoyed your session. Your work will be ready shortly. Geri"
