James’ Courses
“Its James here.
The numerous sabbaticals I’ve had planned these last few years never really materialised. In May 2024, I am organising a big group exhibition at the Knepp Rewilding Project in West Sussex, so the first half of the year will be spent preparing for that.
Whilst I really miss teaching from the Phoenix Studio, I do have to focus on my own practise, plus it’s fun teaching at other venues too. I will run Phoenix-based courses (like the ones below) soon – so make sure you have signed up to the mailing list to be one of the first to know when they will be.
In 2024 I am teaching at La Meridiana International School of Ceramics in Tuscany in June. I am due to be teaching at the Living Light Art in Hong Kong in October and in November, I am teaching at both the Ceramics Studio near Tunbridge Wells and Ceramic Stories in Belgium. Come join me!”
