I grew up in Georgia and later spent 11 years in North Carolina completing a woodfire apprenticeship and working as a production potter. I work in both wheel throwing and handbuilding (primarily coiling and pinching). I love to make pots for the table with a focus in streamlined function and sculptural vessels that lean into showing the process of making. As an instructor, my goals are to support and help facilitate the creative goals of others, increase material knowledge, aid in creating peer to peer learning environments and most importantly have a ton of fun with clay in the company of other people.
