She believes that play is an essential part of life—and that there's no better medium for it than clay! Her work focuses on creativity and joy, with each piece designed to delight. In her classes, you'll find an open, playful atmosphere where students are encouraged to experiment, get creative with tools, and explore their own unique approaches to clay.
