The First Time

The first time I tried making a pot it was a disaster. I was in the ninth grade. I tried every day for five straight days.

All I made were mud pies.

It was so frustrating. It seemed impossible. I had always been good at drawing and painting. I couldn't see why this would be any different.

The problem was that I had no one to show me how.

Out of frustration I quit. I didn't try again for four years.

I desperately needed a teacher.

The Breakthrough

Finally, while in college, I signed up for a beginning wheel throwing class. There, I found an awesome teacher.

Watching her throw pottery was magical.

HUGE POTS sprang out of raw clay in her hands. She made it look so easy. I was inspired.

Over the next several years she taught me to make more than mud pies.

I learned how to make everything, from mugs to vases and teapots.

Now I absolutely love making pots on the wheel.

Anyone Can Make Pottery

The important thing I learned is that anyone can make pottery with the right teaching and techniques.

That includes YOU!

You don't need a college degree or expensive lessons.

You just need a teacher. Inspired by my first teacher, I started teaching my own students ten years ago.

Since then I have taught thousands of people how to make ceramics.

Now, I'm here to teach YOU.

So, if you're ready to make your own handmade bowls, mugs, vases and more, let's begin...
