I'm the Franchisee in Goldfields

My name is Marilet van der Bank

I have 2 kids of my own, and kids are my passion. In my spare time I love doing DIY projects around the house, and I am always looking for new arts and crafts projects.

I am a positive person who has an enthusiastic lookout on life. I love my job and I get a great sense of achievement from seeing my students develop and grow as individuals. If I can have a positive impact on their future, I feel I am doing my job well. Every child is different, and should get the attention and opportunity to develop in the areas they are good at.

Being a pottery teacher is about more than helping students create art, it is about helping them develop their fine motor skills, creativity and emotional Development.

I hope to be part of your child’s education and to help them make memories and creations that will last a lifetime.

Why choose us?

There are three pillars that our lessons stand on:

Creativity Development: With over 26 years of creativity development experience, a book written about it, and our program designed in conjunction with the President of Creativity SA, we believe we are at the forefront of this game in South Africa.
Fine Motor Skills Development: The clay gives the small hand muscles a workout like nothing else, combined with correct pencil grip with the paintbrush and we’ll have your child “big school” ready in no time. Many other extramurals focus on gross motor skills, and we believe that should be used synergistically with our program.
Fun! This is probably the most important part of our lessons. Yes, we can provide lots of value to the child but it will be lost on them if they aren’t laughing, singing and making jokes during the lessons
