Hello all. I finally decided it was time for me to try my hand at the social networking thing. I have to admit I really don't like being on the computer for long periods of time. I fought this for a long time. Well, I guess sometimes we have to do things we find uncomfortable and/or unfamiliar.
I began taking pottery in 1996. I took a wheel throwing class at the University of Maryland. I was immediately hooked. I loved throwing but I think even then I gravitated more towards the hand building. I took another pottery class at a local community center, still focusing mainly on my throwing techniques. At times combining the throwing and hand building together to create my pieces.
Around 2002-2003 I took a tile making class at the Corcoran College of Art. The focus of the class was creating relief tiles. This type of art is a perfect fit for my obsession with fine details and the need for perfection. I took the class multiple times and absolutely loved it. I would still be taking the class if I had the extra money:)
Last Summer I took a week long Hand building workshop with Artist Margaret Bohls. This was an amazing experience and I learned so much. It really opened up a whole new world. I came home full of ideas and eager to try out all the new techniques I just learned.

My new functional pottery designs were all created after this experience.
