Each day, students will create an art piece using a variety of basic clay techniques including pinch, and coil. On the last day of class, students will paint their clay pieces using painting patterns and techniques from ancient cultures.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an illustrator, artist, teacher, business owner, and a pug mom. I have a degree in Illustration, a visual art minor with 20 years of teaching experience. I believe that knowledge is power and the more you know the greater your influence can be. Learning should be fun and individual. Even when my students are looking at the same picture for painting class, their work is very individual and unique to them and I love that part of the creative process. We are all learners and we should celebrate each other on the Journey! Reviews
