Tutors
We are at present lucky enough to have a team of four tutors:
Christine Bull
Christine is a Licentiate of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and a qualified teacher specialising in ceramics. She has been teaching both children and adults in Hampshire for many years and for the last five years has been working as a free-lance potter at Robert Goldsmith's pottery in Selborne. Her interests include earthenware majolica glazes, slip decoration and reduced stoneware. She specialises in throwing pots on the wheel and contributes to the wide range of handmade ceramics made at Selborne as well as working in her own studio. Back to top
Katerina Evangelidou
Katerina was born in Athens and studied ceramics at the West Surrey College of Art and Design (now the Surrey Institute of Art and Design University College). She has been a long-standing tutor to West Street Potters and lecturer in art colleges. She now lives and runs her studio in Farnham. She has exhibited widely in this country and abroad in group and solo exhibitions.
Her interests include wood-fired kilns, raku and other kinds of experimental firing techniques. Her current work is based on the vessel form. It is initially thrown on the wheel then reformed, often with the introduction of other hand building techniques.
In her classes she encourages a good knowledge of a wide range of techniques in making, glazing and firing and is always keen to promote a strong personal development of her students' creative abilities. Back to top
Kathy Mason
Kathy describes herself as a hand builder and pyromaniac. She trained at the West Surrey College of Art and Design and later at Guildford College and Kingston University. She has taught in schools and is currently a lecturer at the Surrey Institute of Art and Design University College. She enjoys exploring a wide variety of ceramic materials and applications. She sculpts animals and birds and makes "brick" forms with paper clay inclusions using a range of mixed media and finds raku firing particularly dramatic and satisfying. Back to top
Julia Quigley
Julia graduated from the Farnham School of Art with a degree in Ceramics and Etching. This course was renowned for its thorough grounding in ceramic techniques and a rigorous conceptual approach. She now works to commission and exhibits in galleries in Southern England. She has a sound knowledge and long experience of clay, glazes and kiln technology. Currently her work is handbuilt using folded sheets of clay, matt glazed and stoneware fired.
She finds that for her individual creativity and teaching are mutually beneficial. The sparking of ideas and enthusiasm encompasses all abilities and often follows unexpected pathways. Back to top
