Pottery challenge #10
I spent part of today revising my Bio and Artists Statement. It makes you think of where you've been and where you want to go. I did not come from an art background. My studies in ceramics started in the last semesters of college so there was no time to develop fully. After many years of not touching clay I went back and fell in love all over again. I picked up my studies by registering for a class and then doing workshops. Each nugget of information has helped me improve. I take something away from each class and each teacher. Each one of my teachers have given me something to take away and use.Sometimes it has taken months to process what I have learned but in some way it always comes out in my work.



In the year 2013 I signed up for the Steven Hill Journey Workshop, I had no idea how this would change my life. There were 9 other participants Steven Hill of course and those wonderful people at the Saratoga Clay Art Center where the Journey was held. The course was a year long with growth I could not imagine. The 10 of us have bonded together and have stayed in touch as a small but wonderful group. We get together several times a year and seven of us attended NCECA. The year affected me more than any other workshop/course I have taken.

I will go more in depth on the year in my next blog.
