About Catherine

My studio is in Cascais, Quinta da Marinha, near Lisbon. I am of French and English descent and moved to Cascais in the mid 80's where I married andbrought up my family. I have been a ceramicist since the mid 70's, have studied in the UK with Jack Doherty (Porcelain), Adele Goulty (hand building), Sandy Brown (creativity) and also did a 3 months development course with Katrina Peichal covering wheel throwing, hand building, glaze making, decoration and design. I enjoy creating work that brings visual pleasure while enhancing your day to day. With that in mind I have developed a range of joyful colours I paint my pieces with. I also enjoy imparting the pleasure of making with our hands while experiencing the benefits of touch, grounding earth, slow living and humour.…

Initial review

Service: ceramics classes

Taking ceramics classes was a delightful experience for me. I appreciated the opportunity to work mostly on the potter's wheel, creating pieces like teapots, plates, and bowls. Catherine’s guidance and the cozy atmosphere made it a fantastic space for creativity and learning, plus her homemade lunches and recipes were a delightful bonus.
