| I've been involved in ceramics for nearly my entire life and seriously for just about 10 years, starting in my freshman
year in high school. I attended a private prep school in Hawaii where I was
blessed to spend at least 1 hour a day in Dave Robert's ceramics studio.
This studio had 25 electric wheels, a dedicated glazing room, and three
large kilns.
Mr. Roberts was an amazing teacher and is a true master of the clay. Mr. Roberts displayed perfect balance as an instructor, knowing when he was needed and when a student was ready to
figure it out on their own.
While at the University of California at Santa Cruz, I occasionally got my
hands dirty in a ceramics co-op on campus. Shortly after graduation, I joined a ceramics studio and got back into clay. I was a member of this studio for about a year.
Now when my work schedule permits, I attend ceramcis courses through the Santa
Cruz Adult Education program with another master, George Dymench. I have
recently purchased my first wheel and am currently converting my garage into a studio. I
soon hope to spend many hours working on my touch in the comfort of my home. |
