Are you interested in taking a class with me?

 

Teaching is a huge part of what I do. I love sharing this craft with people of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels. I can accomodate in person classes and workshops, remote support with wheel throwing, and can do birthday parties and traveling art classes. Please find more information about classes below as well as an opportunity to get in touch!

Do you have a wheel at home and are looking for some 1 on 1 support to enhance your wheel throwing skills? Are you looking to build a home studio? I am now offering virtual consultations or in person if you are in San Diego.

  • Remote throwing lessons via zoom or facetime for time of your choosing (30mins-2 hours) (must have your own wheel and materials)

  • This is geared towards newer / intermediate wheel throwers who are looking to sharpen their skills and move deeper in the craft. Topics we can cover are unique to your needs but can include: perfecting centering, refined techniques and advice for throwing, working on more complicated forms, throwing consistent forms, tips for working with larger quantities of clay, trimming advice and more!

  • I can also offer guidance for creating and maintaining a home pottery studio which includes:

    • Safe studio practices

    • Tutorial on clay reclamation / recycling

    • Tips for installing and operating your own kiln

    • Must have materials and tools

    • Advice on maximizing space

    • Starting a pottery business

  • Please get in touch to tell me a little bit about your journey, what you are looking for, and schedule a consultation!

 

Do you have a group of homeschoolers looking for some art workshops? A birthday party coming up? Corporate teambuilding event? I can come to you!

  • I am thrilled to offer traveling handbuilding only ceramics workshops for any event and age group.

  • I am willing to travel anywhere in San Diego county and am open to coming to LA

  • What is handbuilding? Handbuilt ceramics includes any method of working with clay that does not involve the potter’s wheel. This includes: pinch pots, working from slabs of clay, coils, kurinuki and more! With handbuilding, we can create sculptural pieces, functional pieces and decorative things. I can provide ideas and examples that suit your event.

  • Groups can also take a class with me at Fire and Mud Studios.

  • Workshops can be tailored to whatever makes sense for your event or group. ie: themed creations, group projects, or even just paint your own pottery ( I supply the items). Lets collaborate!

  • All materials included. All firings included. Finished items can either be dropped off, shipped, or picked up.

  • Please get in touch to discuss rates and booking.
