I teach a variety of ceramic classes at Sawtooth from portrait and animal sculpture to hand built clay projects. My degrees are in Art History/Fine Art with a Master’s in teaching and this background has helped me to effectively communicate what I have learned while working in this medium. I hope that my instruction gives people the skills to feel creative and inspired while working in clay.
