Working alongside tutors including Anthony Quinn, Duncan Hoosen, Emma Lacey, Ian McIntyre and Maham Anjum, Stuart finds himself in excellent company as they lead the way for the early career makers.

Visiting Lecturer

While regularly based at The Kiln Rooms, Stuart has found himself touring the UK in his passionate pursuit of ceramics education. He has delivered multiple lectures on the business practicalities of being a ceramic maker, the reality of the market place and routes to an audience.
