About
I have had the honor and privilege of teaching thousands of students from pre-school to senior citizens and am convinced that we are all creative and have the possibility to create something wonderful. Wether it is a painting, sculpture, mixed media or poem. It is my life’s joy to share my expertise with others so they can tap into their own creativity. I do believe that art enhances ones sense of the beauty of nature and its impact on all our senses which frees us to share the joy of creating something wonderful!
Program Overview
As a professional artist/instructor with a specialty in arts integration, I am qualified to include literacy into learners clay experience. Many of my clay projects enhance students mastery of literary arts and social studies.
I offer clay workshops, which includes various clays such as Crayola Model Magic which can
be integrated into creating a mixed media art activity which includes composing poems or stories. I have composed several stories that include a sculpture to serve as examples.
This is very effective for young learners.
All my clay projects are designed to meet classroom requirements with consideration for
all levels upon collaboration with teachers. Each student creates something successfully.
I offer intro to clay hand building covering slabs, pinch pots, coils and sculpture.
Students master clay hand building such as making clay gnomes, reliefs, sculptures
I offer clay sculpture with an emphasis on the head and figure.
If no kiln is available, professional air dry clay is used.
All my clay classes help art professionals’ mastery of both clay basics and kiln firing.
All clay creations are finished with non-toxic clay finishes such as acrylics.
