ABOUT ME
I'm Pheona, the founder of Clay to Plate, a potter, a good cook &
a free spirit, who enjoys life
POTTERY COMMUNITY & fOODIE
Hello, everyone! I’m Phe, the person behind the wheel in the studio. As a foodie, I’ve always believed that eating from a beautifully crafted vessel elevates the experience of enjoying and appreciating a meal. This belief inspired me to sign up for a pottery class in 2016, with the determination that one day, I would make my own plates and bowls for daily use.
Fast forward to today, I run a small studio called Clay to Plate in the heart of Utrecht city. It’s a space where a lump of clay is transformed into a unique item. Working with clay brings me calm and peace.
In the studio my aim is to share my passion in this craft and to create a space where mindfulness
involves being fully present in the moment. Pottery is a perfect medium for as it requires concentration, patience, and a deep connection with the materials.
​
In our fast-paced world, pottery has grounded me and when I am in the studio, I am at my happy place embracing every moment of the creative process.

Pheona's classes are a pleasure to attend. Pheona is absolutely lovely. She is fun, skilled, understanding, spontaneous, patient and super creative. Everything is possible in her studio. I've attended two different courses and I really loved both. The studio is a great place to either get your first experience with throwing on the wheel or to evolve your skills and really grow. If you're not a big fan of working with the wheel there is plenty of room to only hand build. Pheona guides you to create beautiful pieces either way which you can actually use in your day to day life. I am currently drinking coffee only from my own mugs! I would highly recommend her courses. It doesn't feel like going to a course but more like meeting with friends and creating beautiful pieces. Definitely recommend! You won't regret!! Pheona's hospitality will make you feel at home from the minute you start.

Absolutely brilliant. Learning to throw clay with Pheona has been so many things! From teaching patience to humbling, from therapeutic to confidence-boosting. Every day in the studio there's something great to take home, beside your creations. It's impossible not to enjoy pottery... and the amazing teacher. I look forward to it every time. Thank you Phe!

So happy I started my pottery journey with Pheona. Pheona is an incredible teacher and person. She creates the most wonderful and fun classes where you learn how to work with clay, trimming techniques, and glazing, and you get to take home your beautiful creations at the end! On top of sharing her passion for pottery, she also shares her passion for food and cooks incredible Malaysian food (aka the best cuisine out there!) that you can enjoy together. Truly the best concept ever. I joined a 4-week course, and will be starting an 8-week course soon and can't wait to continue. Thank you Phe!

Phe is not only a great teacher but also an amazing human being. When I started the pottery course, little did I know I was starting a journey into finding myself and becoming a better version of myself, while being surrounded by kind and inspiring people.
Phe's attention to detail and careful use of materials - so that nothing goes to waste - is something I have started to apply to my daily life and incorporate as part of who I am ever since.
She's a very emphatetic person and will do her best to get the most out of you without putting any pressure on you.
In case you are still unsure, here's one little extra piece of info: Phe is a great cook and puts as much passion into teaching pottery as she does when cooking Malasyan food.
