Dina's view:- When asked how long it takes for me to make a piece, I answer "40 years and then some".
- Having learned to throw and hand-build in my native Johannesburg,' I soon preferred to focus on hand work.
- Stoneware and porcelain best suit the domestic ware I love to fashion.
- I make each piece a challenge by working with ever greater delicacy.
- Then I hope and pray my pots retain their shape through the demanding glazing and kiln firing cycles.
- I make no-two-alike water features, planters for indoors and out, tableware, cookware, light shades and wearables - earrings, pendants, brooches and stickpins.
- It is pure magic when your own hands have transformed a lump of mud into a piece of ceramic art.
- The satisfaction is boundless.
- Visit my garden studio and have a go.
- It's very rewarding AND IT IS FUN!

The Joomla! Project has assembled a top-notch team of experts to form the new Joomla! Security Strike Team. This new team will solely focus on investigating and resolving security issues. Instead of working in relative secrecy, the JSST will have a strong public-facing presence at the Joomla! Security Center. |

The Joomla Core Team and Working Group members are volunteer developers, designers, administrators and managers who have worked together to take Joomla! to new heights in its relatively short life. Joomla! has some wonderfully talented people taking Open Source concepts to the forefront of industry standards. Joomla! 1.5 is a major leap forward and represents the most exciting Joomla! release in the history of the project. |

Light garden studio in leafy Muswell Hill.
We use hand-building methods, not a potter's wheel; it is unhelpful for young children, being mechanised and too fast.
Children are welcome to bring their own friends or they meet other potters here.
Average session time is one hour; teens and adults prefer two- to three-hour classes.
I set no age limit - some very young children mould and shape with full attention, and for long spells.
Half-term and holiday projects are divided into three one-hour sessions, over one week or two.
We can make and paint pottery in the same 'play' time.
While I may suggest project and party themes, most kids prefer choosing their own.
Pottery parties, for up to sixteen youngsters, are held in my studio. Pottery ONLY is on offer - no party nosh - sorry! We have a range of party-friendly places nearby, while larger parties are set up in your own homes or at agreed other venues |
