ABOUT 

Cadfan Ceramics, led by Helen Zachariah, is a thriving ceramics studio with over 30 years of experience in the craft. Helen's dedication to the art and her clients is reflected in every piece she creates. Having previously run successful workshops across Swansea, Helen's growing reputation for high-quality ceramics and personalized instruction has led to the opening of her own dedicated studio.

The studio is thoughtfully designed with sustainability at its core. Helen believes in the importance of working with the earth’s materials responsibly. She prioritizes eco-friendly practices throughout the studio, making conscious choices to minimize her environmental impact. This includes avoiding the use of harmful substances like lead and barium, and opting for lower firing temperatures to reduce her carbon footprint.

Additionally, Helen's commitment to sustainability extends to a strict policy of reusing all clay in the studio. Every scrap of material is given new life, ensuring that waste is minimized and nothing goes to waste. This practice not only reduces her environmental impact but also reinforces her philosophy of taking full responsibility for her actions, no matter how small.

Helen’s passion for ceramics is matched only by her passion for teaching. Her new studio space not only allows her to continue creating her own work but also offers a space for others to explore their creativity in a sustainable environment. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced potter, you’ll find expert guidance and support in a space that fosters both personal growth and environmental responsibility.

At Cadfan Ceramics, the focus is not only on creating beautiful, handcrafted ceramics but also on fostering a community that values sustainability, craftsmanship, and a mindful approach to the materials and processes used. You can rest assured that you are in very capable hands when you work with Helen Zachariah.
