TERM 1 CHILDREN COURSES
Libby Bourke
I grew up in Victoria surrounded by art, thanks to my creative mum. I have travelled widely and love reading, gardening and walks on the beach. My creative energy covers an array of skills in pottery, painting, drawing, weaving and sewing; I always have several projects on the go.
A range of activities has guided my work with children over the past 30 years - teaching art, creating murals and leading nature play groups. I have been living on the Central Coast with my son Elia for about 10 years; and teaching pottery at the Central Coast Potters Society for 6 years.
I love seeing my students' enthusiasm and sense of wonder and pride in the things they create with clay and their imaginations!

On completing this course, students will have developed skills in:
