Wrapping Up Classes at the Studio

Wrapping Up Classes at the Studio | the dirt | Jenni Ward ceramic sculpture

 

We are in the final days of classes at the new studio for 2016 and everyone will be glazing like mad to get their projects finished for the holidays. There are some amazing gifts being created here for some lucky loved ones! I am always so impressed with my students work; their ideas, craftsmanship and commitment to learning about clay makes it an honor to be their teacher. I love seeing how just the process of touching and manipulating clay in their hands can transform their whole day. I hope you can join us next year at the studio!
