About Michele & Born Awesome?

Greetings awesome peoples!

I have been working with clay for over 20 years and have a deep passion for creative arts and their impact on well-being. Throughout my journey, I have explored numerous artistic techniques and have witnessed the profound beauty and value they offer as avenues for expression and discovery.

I have worked and been involved in the disability field for almost 30 years and I’m a fun-loving neuro-spicy human, in a neuro-spicy household. My focus lies in supporting individuals facing challenging life situations, helping them navigate obstacles, and finding solutions through various creative practices. Having personally overcome a significant spinal injury that required me to relearn how to walk, as well as managing a chronic illness, I understand the complexities of returning to life after hardship.

I aspire to be a source of hope, utilising diverse techniques to enable positive transformation. With a strong emphasis on addressing feelings of overwhelm and tackling challenges, I provide practical tools and guidance to empower individuals on their unique journeys toward achieving their life goals and finding a flow.

Words from clay-wranglers...

"This is a safe space for you to connect with your creativity and just be you. It's a beautiful comfortable place and I love being there. Michele has so much experience with clay and is a wonderful teacher who is able to both guide you and help you to connect with your inner creativity. Her passion and pure joy for pottery, people and life is beautiful."

"Having done the first course, I recommend doing this class. Michele Wragg is a great teacher, sharing her knowledge and skills with an attitude of fun, joy and acceptance. I loved learning these skills, and making some cool items. Even when things didnt go as expected. "

THOM
"Throughout the 8 weeks with Michele and the other participants you not only gather skills and knowledge , you meet yourself in each project. You yourself are like the clay slowly coming to life under your hands ... it teaches you about how you function in the world and that the need to be perfect is definitely not necessary."
