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.

Ruth & Jan reviewed: Introduction to throwing on the potter's wheel

"We thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon with Geri, our first attempt at throwing clay. Fabulous tuition and assistance throughout, we even managed to make actual pots. Highly recommended and lots of fun, I think it could be very addictive throwing clay and making pots ~ thanks so much Geri !"

Geraldine Francis Ceramics responded:

"So pleased you had a good time, looking forward to seeing you again soon. Geri"

Lindsay Barker reviewed: Introduction to throwing on the potter's wheel

"The introductory pottery course with Geraldine was a total delight. We had so much fun, it was really interesting, Geri was so patient and helpful and I was amazed we actually made pots and bowls on the potters wheel that looked quite professional. Exceptional value at very short notice too. Highly recommend. "

Geraldine Francis Ceramics responded:

"Hi, Thank you for your review I am so pleaded you had a good time. You all did really well. Your pots have now been trimmed and are drying ready for firing. See you soon. Best wishes Geri"
