I am also currently, involved in building operations on my gallery property, and am often at the gallery during the day. You are welcome to call me and find out if I am there. I teach on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and therefore am not able to open on those two days at that time, however if you need something urgently from the gallery and you are unable to come at any other time, I can open the gallery from 2.30 on either of these teaching days. The days listed below, are the days I am happy to open by appointment, and with huge pleasure.
We are often at the gallery for longer than what is listed above. Please phone us during opening hours on 067 704 3926 (on Saturdays) or during other hours on 083 3777 499 (WhatsApp or regular mobile call) to see if we are able to open.
Classes in September and October will operate in a more open and in a slightly less limited capacity due to the country moving to Level 2. Covid protocols are in place during the classes. You are welcome to call Kim to get more information.
I have been running our ceramics classes at our premises in Yeoville, since the beginning of February 2021. We are all thrilled to be working with clay again despite the fact that occasionally we have to retreat into our homes when the covid levels rise.
There are currently classes on a Tuesday and Thursday morning from 9.30 – 12.30. These classes are for beginners and advanced students.
Our new building is nearing completion. We will be registering students from November for classes on a Saturday, as well as courses that are planned for December and January 2022.
AN OPTION IN THE NEAR FUTURE, IF THERE IS AVAILABILITY TO DO AN 8 WEEK COURSE.
There is also possibly an option to do an 8 week series of lessons, depending on avaibility.
You will be able to either do a beginners block for 8 weeks, or as a more advanced student, choose something you would like to explore for 8 weeks. If this block of classes interests you, please e-mail or call me on what’s app and let’s see what can be arranged to suit your creative needs.
You are welcome to e-mail or message me on whatsapp. As soon as I am able to call you, once I receive your message I will. I prefer a conversation to find out exactly what your personal needs are than only a written communication.

Once my new teaching/making space in Parkwood is complete, there will be a once a week Wednesday evening class. The evening classes will probably be run in 8 week blocks.
We are also planning regular Saturday workshops as well, so if this interests you are welcome to put your name down on the “workshop-list”. This can be done sending Kim a what’s app indicating what your skill level is and what you are looking to learn.
We will also be offering classes for children during school holidays, and at half term. We also teach learners who are young and doing home schooling.
There will also be regular “workshops” run by visiting Ceramicists from around the country and even further afield. This will happen once we move from Yeoville to Parkwood.
We also welcome people, who cannot commit to ongoing classes, under the current Covid 19 season, but who you would like to come occasionally to work with clay.
If you would like to join a class either at the Yeoville premises or our new school, once it is completed, which should be in November/December, you can contact Kim on WhatsApp on 083 377 7499 or you can send a message via the website’s contact form, please send her your telephone no so she can call you for a conversation.
If you need to find out more about the classes, you can either send Kim a message or have a look at the school section of the website. We also have a fabulous instagram page which is constantly being updated. #kimsacksschoolofceramics
There are lots of possibilities. Clay heals. It is a Balm. It is Magical and takes us to far-away places inside ourselves. Come and explore.
