About your mentor

Ximena Heasman Ceramics

Passionate about ceramics and teaching

Ximena Heasman Ceramics

I like sharing my passion for clay with children and adults. I strongly believe in the healing and therapeutic power of clay. I am the Pottery teacher at Michael Hall Steiner School, where these lessons will take place. I also hold some classes in my studio where I also develop my own designs and creations. I love seeing the smiles and the motivation when people leave the studio after a clay session. Clay makes people happier.
