I absolutely loved the course. I found it really easy to follow and went into great detail to explain the whole process and all the finer details. Alex explained how and why certain things were done the way they were, which I found really helpful. And all the tools were also explained which made it easy to go out and find them when I was ready to begin my project. I was so happy with my finished piece and I can't wait to have another go! Thanks so much!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for Alex's brilliant online course! I've been immersed in creating all kinds of forms and it's reignited my love for clay. But best of all - it's given us the knowledge to pass onto clients and use within our expressive therapy to support others in changing their relationship with their body.

Alexandra Butler is a ceramic artist living in the South West shire of Margaret River in Western Australia. Her love affair with clay and more specifically the female form began 3 years ago during the height of the pandemic. Being a mother of three Alex has witnessed firsthand and embodied the dramatic changes that occur to the body during a woman's journey into motherhood. Pregnancy, child birth and postpartum inspired the beginning of Bless This Mess Ceramics. However, time and experience has shifted her special interest in the creation of female form into a mission to normalise and neutralise body image.
