Latest Flower Sculptures

“We are like flower people, we are one, all the same, yet different but all uniquely beautiful”

My ceramic flower sculptures or “flower people” as I like to call them, have evolved from my love of nature and science.

I am fascinated with physics and the universe and how we are all just fragments of energy from the same source creating our reality. We are all the same, whether we are human, flowers or animals, we are all made of the same stuff.

My sculptures are literally and figuratively a representation of the reproductive energies of nature, and it’s nothing to be embarrassed by or ashamed of. It is what enables the creation of life on earth.

We are all beautiful in our own unique way.
They make great handmade gift ideas and I offer commissions for personalised gifts.

I had a solo session with Carolyn, today, and I can truly say it was an amazing experience. Carolyn is a brilliant teacher who made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I spent an hour on the wheel and an hour making flowers, using the techniques Carolyn showed me. With her humour, personality, patience, knowledge, guidance and encouragement Carolyn made me feel confident in my beginner's ability. If you want an amazing experience, learning from an excellent teacher, then I highly recommend Carolyn.

THANK YOU, CAROLYN!

We had a very wholesome time with Carolyn when we visited her studio as a couple. She showed us how to use the pottery wheel, and we had a decent amount of time to make our own bowls. We also made some patterned mugs with handles and then hand painted them. Carolyn was very easy to be around and was the perfect level of supportive; helping when needed, but also encouraging us to be confident. She was open to us doing the things we most enjoyed, without being stuck in a rigid class structure. It was a lovely thing to do as a couple. Highly recommend!

I spent 4 hours with Carolyn yesterday, the time flew by, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and learnt lots of techniques. Carolyn was happy to teach what I wanted but also adapting the workshop as different questions arose. I would absolutely recommend Carolyn, I cannot wait for another opportunity to return, I just live a bit too far away to attend every week.

Amazing time learning pottery skills in a beautiful, peaceful and inspiring environment. I had a lovely afternoon with my mom and can’t wait to go back for another lesson. Caroline was such an attentive and flexible teacher - I can’t recommend enough!

I came across Carolyn’s business whilst searching for a pottery experience for my mums 60th. We have previously had a go at pottery painting but I am so glad we booked a pottery class with Carolyn. From messaging to book our session to the actual day, it was a lovely experience all round. Carolyn showed my mum how to ‘throw’ on the pottery wheel as one of her bucket list things to do, whilst she then taught our family friends and I how to handmake different types of flowers. Throughout the session it was clear that Carolyn is knowledgeable and passionate about teaching pottery and it was an added bonus that she is local to us. Her studio and garden were also an idyllic setting for a lovely afternoon. I would definitely recommend booking a pottery class with Carolyn, we loved it so much we will be returning in a few weeks time. Thank you Carolyn for a fab experience, see you soon!

Caz is the most inspiring lady I have ever met! She is so talented, friendly and passionate for what she does. Her art is so unique and one of the kind. Very helpful and great teacher. Loved every single moment I spent in her studio. Her place is also gorgeous, calming and has a great energy. I can’t wait to go again and make more art with her 🤍

I shared a wonderful personalised tutorial with a friend at Caz’s gorgeous studio this morning. Caz is friendly, helpful and she’s a great teacher (very patient too!)
The two hours flew by! Can’t wait to go back for our painting session!

Ordered 4 sculptures to be delivered to Australia. Beautifully packed which is not always the case with online orders. Sculptures are gifts for friends and family. Very unique and personalised gift. Can't wait to give them away.
