  • Interests
    Camping, kayaking, family, travel, Art in general. I have a small studio in my garage. Two electric kilns, two wheels, wedging table etc. I am primarily interested in cone 6 Ox. but like to see what is going on at all ranges. Read about ceramics voraciously and love the feel of the clay and throwing. Have to admit that my greatest joy is in the making, not the glazing. That said I do mix my own glazes, some of my own formulas, some borrowed. Retired from teaching art, in 2009 after 36 years, taught ceramics 34 of those years.

      I hope you have a good time.  One summer I took a three day tile course at a junior college.  We slept in a dorm at night and found our own meals during the day.   I had been making tile for several years and thought maybe I  could increase my knowledge on the subject.   At the beginning of the first day I realized that I was mistaken.  Most of the people there had never worked with clay.  The class was doubled book and one of the teachers was sick. A overwhelmed teacher asked me if I would help with the class.  I really enjoyed helping the students,  I think I would have been bored out of my mind  with the elementary presentations.  Denice

      I taught in this position for 36 yrs, started the adult class. The new teacher 2nd after my retirement, treats me like a king. Great guy, and has kids coming in for the class along with adults. Lots of fun, and the interaction that I miss is marvelous. Teaching can be so rewarding, and often you learn something by teaching others.

      best,

      Pres
