Handmade pottery tools for the kitchen are not just beautiful, but practical as well. Stoneware can be used for crockery, cookery, storage and is oven and dishwasher safe. This beginners class will acquaint students with various tools in our studio as they learn how to construct a garlic roaster, a casserole dish with handles, a salt pig, and a small sauerkraut crock utilizing patterns provided by the instructor. Glazing instruction will be provided as well. Recipes and proper use of your new pottery will be discussed.

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.
