CREATING WITH CLAY

Working and creating with clay can be an interesting and therapeutic artistic experience.

Clay is such a wonderful medium to work with. It allows us the joy of creating a functional piece of pottery from the very beginning, while learning and developing skills.

As a Ceramic Artist, I love my craft and the work I am able to create.

A huge part of my love affair with clay has been sharing and passing on the techniques that I have learned in my journey.
