Historic sites, the Botanic Garden of Wales, leisure facilities, beach and physical activity centres are all within a 20 mile radius from us. The nearest main town, Carmarthen, is a 15 minute drive away and there is a great provision of restaurants and bars.

Learning the technique how to create pots on the potter's wheel. Good fun! Always a good cup of coffee or tea with (hopefully) home baked biscuits and all materials and equipment. Two created pots per person will be fired and glazed for free, if you would like more of your created pots I charge a small fee per pot.

Having been given a piece of clay when I was 6 years old, I knew what I wanted to do. My dad thought I needed a "proper job" and I became a secretary. Soon I wanted to go back to college and study for my degree. A local pottery offered me a job as a thrower and after several years employed I was able to and given the opportunity to open my own studio. Teaching and sharing my knowledge about clay and all its workings on the potter's wheel and hand building are now paramount to Siramik.
