Training & Coaching
Love what I do? Let’s make it happen for you, too.
Whether it's baby prints or pottery painting and crafting—it really is the best way to make a living.
But I know that turning a creative passion into a profitable reality can feel overwhelming. That’s where I come in.
After 12 years, three successful businesses, and over £1m in turnover, I’ve developed the skills and knowledge for success. I’ve navigated the highs of speedy growth and the grit of surviving a global pandemic.
Now, I’m offering you the roadmap to help you skip the guesswork and fast-track your own journey.
Whether you are:
-
Starting from scratch and need a clear, confident hand to hold.
-
Launching a local studio to become the heart of your community.
-
An existing owner ready to learn or refresh your skills and supercharge your revenue.
I offer a range of pre-set training courses and bespoke coaching tailored entirely to your vision. We can dive into the details at my beautiful studios in Gloucester or Newmilns (Scotland)—or, if you prefer, I’ll bring the expertise directly to your doorstep.
You have the passion; I have the map. Let’s build something amazing together!
Start Ups
If you are thinking of opening a pottery painting or craft business but not sure if it's for you, how you will go about it, where you'll learn your skills why not come and spend a day or two in my studio and I'll go through everything step by step. We will look at your business ideas, run through finances and how to be profitable as soon as possible. You can see how we glaze and fire, ask questions about kilns, see how a pottery studio manages their customer processes.
Baby Print Training
Baby prints can be a core part of any pottery painting studio. Come and learn how to get the best possible prints; using real life babies, you will make some samples to take home (or we'll fire them for you). You'll also learn how to do clay imprints, going through the basics of working and firing clay, and we will look at how we design and personalise them. If you already have a studio and need to boost your baby print confidence this session will be for you too.
Business Support
I can work with you to help build good foundations for your business. Looking at the key pillars of business success - sales, finances, systems & processes, strategy and people!
Starting or running your own business can be lots of fun, lots of effort and lots of stress... and whilst a wing and a prayer can get you so far, for sustained growth and success you're going to need a plan and some support. Whether you're yet to start or if you've been in business 20 years, if you feel like you could do with helping hand, lets chat!
