Eve Carroll – Potter / Artist / Maker.

Based in the beautiful Pembrokeshire coastal village of Moylegrove, here in West Wales..

My Art Education – Where did it all begin?

I soon identified Art as my favourite subject at school, enjoying drawing, painting and sculpting.

I was certainly one of those children who gravitated towards the Art department! (In the days when every school had a thriving Art Department)

I went on to study art at college in the 80’s. Firstly, ‘Fine Art’ and then ‘Ceramic Design’ at Camberwell School of Art, graduating with a BA Hons Degree in 1991.

After graduating, I worked as a tutor in adult education and as artist in resident in schools, in London and Ireland. Exhibiting at various art fairs, shows and galleries with fellow makers is always part of the norm as a maker. I have spent the last 30 years teaching pottery to all ages and ability ranges.

Having moved countries and locations (a few times now), I am very happy to settle in West Wales by the sea and carry on my practice of working in clay.

These days, I combine making pottery with offering clay making workshops to adults and children of all ages.

Currently pottery workshops take place here at my home studio as well as out and about in the community.

Classes can include both tutoring in the pottery wheel as well as hand building and decorative techniques.

Having trained in Art Psychotherapy at Goldsmiths University in London, I realise the benefits of ‘Art’ as a therapeutic experience.

Having said that, I am very much a ‘Maker’ and facilitator of Clay & Art workshops.

Not an Art psychotherapist!

I believe that Art should be a shared practice, to be enjoyed by all ages.

Feedback from my workshops

We had a lovely pottery experience at Eve’s. I took my 8 year old daughter for a pottery session during spring half term and she absolutely loved it. Eve was very kind and helped make my daughters pottery pieces extra special. Thank you so much! Would highly recommend it!
