Reviews
"I recently joined Dawn and five others in an afternoon workshop to learn to make a terracotta olla (a kind of ancient irrigation system). Dawn's relaxed and calm manner belies her extensive experience as a creative, academic and teacher. I loved hearing stories of how she's come to be a business owner and art/pottery teacher while I worked away, rolling my little clay sausages to make my olla. (Side note: using an old toothbrush to score and slurry joins is a game changer! So simple and effective.) It was lovely, too, to see the studio brimming with the work of other students. So much inspiration to be taken from the work around us. I'm feeling super inspired to continue my handbuilding journey (I've almost exclusively thrown on the wheel) and look forward to continuing to support Dawn and her partner as they navigate operating their business during and after a very challenging and totally strange year. Thanks again Dawn, can't wait to see you, your partner and Peeps (the legendary shop pooch) in 2021!!"
"My daughter has been studying pottery at ClayMotion with Dawn since she was 6 years old. She has now turned 9 and has fallen even more in love with pottery as time has progressed. She has created stunning pieces as a result of Dawn’s clearly adept skills as an experienced ceramicist. She adores Saturday mornings and her one hour and a half class with Dawn and her peers. She has had many new opportunities arise on Saturdays over the years and her response has always been ‘If it will affect my pottery class, then no.’ This statement perhaps is a review in itself. Pottery Class is such an important element of her week and most genuinely, her life. As her parents, we are so grateful to Dawn, her guidance and genuine care of our daughter and for all that she offers at Claymotion. It is a really special place filled with kindness, passion and creativity."
"I was a student a few years ago, and returned during the isolation period for some online pottery classes. Getting my hands into some clay has been great fun, and a much needed release during strange this time. In the online classes I've learned a lot of new processes and produced some work that I'm really happy with. Dawn has been a great teacher, and I can't wait to start the next the new projects next term."
"Myself and my partner did an online acrylic paint pouring class, it was awesome. Dawn, the teacher, was both instructive and caring, allowing us newbies the time we needed to follow each step. We are very happy with the paintings, that are now sitting on the mantle!! Thanks Clay Motion! Great experience and outcome!"
"I have been doing classes for almost a year and loved creating my own ceramic pieces in the ClayMotion studio. Dawn is super helpful and knowledgeable about all arts and crafts."
