Tim:
“Working with Sally was great. Although I had experience with other
mediums I had never played with clay before...and I loved it. As a first
timer Sally provided me with the space, flexibility and guidance to
experiment with a wide range of techniques and forms. Sally was generous
in sharing her vast experience with me. I learnt heaps. I left the
workshop with pieces I was pleased with, but more importantly I left with
knowledge, motivation and inspiration to create more. Sally was a
pleasure to spend time with. Sally and Dirk were very hospitable and made
me feel very welcome in their home."

Liz: “I had a fabulous time at Fired Art Retreat. It was like staying with
friends, except that Sally tried to make me work hard.Although I have been making sculptures
with clay for many years, I learnt a new technique which has proved to be
very valuable in making large sculptures. My room was so comfortable and
afforded real privacy with its own little veranda looking out to the
rolling hills and trees, the food delicious, the hosts most accommodating
and the property was like being tucked away from the world with everything
that your heart desires and yet within driving distance of shops, movies
and beach. Even Woofy, the dog, was a darling. Loved it and will certainly
do it again when time permits."
