About Us

I am a qualified art teacher who has taught children and teenagers art, design and textiles over the past 30+ years, mostly in Reading, Berkshire and briefly in Ohio, USA. In 2017, when the last school I taught in, closed it's doors to the older students, I felt the time had come to concentrate my efforts on offering a creative outlet to my local community and making it accessible to all ages and abilities. 

Art Jam Studio opened it's doors to the Caversham, Reading community in 2017, offering pottery painting, after school clubs, birthday and hen parties, and workshops led by myself and local artists. After six very successful and full-on years, the need came to slow down a little, and the decision came to close the studio in Caversahm in 2023 and move it (along with my husband and I) to Devon. 

Art Jam studio can now be found in a purpose built garden studio, surrounded by fields (sometimes full of sheep and pheasants) and open countryside. Unlike its previous location, on a high street with regular opening hours seven days a week, Art jam is now open by appointment only.

Please contact me if you are interested in pottery painting, making a keepsake of hand and foot prints or your pets 🐾  prints, hosting a birthday party or work event, or anything else creative that you would like help with.
