CHILDREN COURSES
Libby Bourke - Tutor
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!
