I started working with clay seven years ago after getting out of the Navy and going back to school on the GI bill. I hadn't intended to become a potter but I fell in love with the tactile and creative challenge it brought me, and was very fortunate to have a string of very good teachers. I did a four year apprenticeship with a master potter in central Virginia, where I learned the fundamentals of not just making pots, but the steps involved in becoming a sustainable artist. I began teaching a few years ago and love helping others work through their issues with clay. It's very rewarding for me to see others break through obstacles, and hope to help you advance your life with clay.
