​I love working with all clay bodies utilizing various techniques and surface treatments. Building a relationship with any process takes time, patience, and understanding. My focus as an instructor is to make this process enjoyable as you accomplish your personal clay objectives.

For me, working with clay on the pottery wheel is a meditative escape from the busyness of life. It's also just plain fun to get your hands dirty and make something for yourself or to share with others. I will help you learn the basics of wheel throwing while exploring your creativity through clay in a relaxed environment.

I love creating ceramics that put the fun in functionality! I dabble in both hand building and wheel throwing, often using underglazes and resists to decorate my pieces in intricate and hand-drawn layers. I also like to use my art to engage with my community, with designs invoking feminist and pro-mental-health ideals. Above all, I love that my pottery brings joy to those who see and use it.

As an artist and art therapist, I find art making to be healing and I often use my own art in this way. I create pieces that are heavily influenced by nature and botanical themes through an abstracted lens to express my lived experience. I often hand build with clay because I prefer organic shapes in my work but I am also experienced in wheel throwing. My goal is to continue growing as an artist and to help others find healing through their own personal art making.

I love creating representational work! Tally Clay Arts has been a wonderful organization to me for over ten years and I adore creating in this space. My goal is to give you the tools to make something that perhaps you thought you couldn't while having a blast! I teach practical ways to make fun forms, faces, and creatures.

Whether hand building or throwing (are they different?), I love clay in the damp state. Most of my work is completed in that stage. Then the clay dries to “skeletons” where it is loaded into the salt kiln. The kiln is my tool to resuscitate the work and breathe life back into it. Success, for me, is being able to revive the clay ware to its original lively self. And nothing is better than sharing that
processwith my students.
