Intermediate Hand Building Class:
*Fridays Noon-2:30 with Owen Coursin.
Start date TBD
I have been working with clay for over fifteen years. For most of that time I was most interested in making functional items on the wheel. While that is still a passion of mine, I have also become excited by handbuilding in the past five years. It is fun to solve problems using clay and making something people want to pick up and interact with. Ask about my belly button cups and fancy feet!
I have always loved teaching and spend most of my working hours educating elementary and middle school students about nature at the Northampton Montessori School. Teaching pottery is a natural progression for me combining two of my passions. Seeing someone get their hands dirty and create something from clay is one of the best feelings. I hope that my students leave my classes with a better understanding of how to work with clay and greater confidence in their ability to turn their ceramic visions into reality.
