I have been teaching Handbuilt Ceramics at the Phoenix Center for the Arts for at least 15 years. I began as a student in 1990. I readily share my experience with clay to allow students to have a successful experience. I love to work directly with the clay to make different designs both functional and sculptural. I am very attracted to textures of all kinds. It’s hard for me to leave a surface unadorned! I make every effort to encourage a fun and challenging classroom time.
