Raphaela Seck
Raphaela grew up in South Devon and spent lot of her childhood outside. She went to the local Steiner school, which had a heavy emphasis on being creative and making things with your hands. Those were always her favourite lessons, whether it was art or woodwork, making with her hands was where she felt most comfortable. Fast forward a few years and she attended her first pottery class locally to Coombe and was hooked from the first time she went on the wheel and knew with a complete certainty that pottery was for her.
Since then she’s done two apprenticeships, managed a community studio [Studio 45 at nearby Dartington] and started teaching, which she describes as “an unexpected joy”
Raphaela is now making her own ceramics full time from her home studio.
