About us
Hi. My name is Rachel Byass.
As a Art Teacher it has always been my aim to educate myself to the highest standard, so as to be able to give the best possible teaching in a variety of subjects to others.My passion for pottery started as a hobby and soon turned into a business. Having studied Horticulture and Botanical Drawing at College I went on to paint bisque ceramic surfaces and loved all the techniques available to make it such fun. I studied ceramics with most of the ceramic companies worldwide and gained Teaching Certifications from Mayco, Duncan, Gare Doc Holliday, Hannover, Spectrum, Seely, Deco Art and Jeanette MaCall. I opened my first shop within 6 months of working from a home studio and went on to move three times to a bigger shop each time. I love to teach and share all my knowledge with others and was able to do this first of all for 12 years as a Duncan Ambassador running full teaching certifications. |

I began to travel 10 years ago teaching throughout the USA and Europe as more and more ceramic cafés opened and needed training.
I have been very privileged to do a job I love. Working as an Art Director for nearly 4 years for one of the largest ceramic companies in UK and writing their Educational Courses I was able to see that there is still a big need for education and training.
I now work for myself mainly helping others to set up in business. I run courses throughout out the year in the UK as well as overseas. I love to work with the local schools and clubs running full days and "After School" clubs.
If you are thinking of setting up your own ceramic business be it a Mobile, a Ceramic Café or a Soft Play area do give me a call.
