Brief:

I ran my own production studio from the basement of my home in beautiful Louisville, Colorado for 5 years. During that time I sold my pieces through various brick and mortar stores, online and in person at art fairs.

Apart from making and selling, I do enjoy teaching and have been teaching for decades (including in the aerospace and mechanical engineering school at RMIT University). For several years I taught classes and managed the pottery program at the Thornton Active Adult Center. 

Teaching references are available upon request.
