Amazing. I keep trying to get my beginner students to analyze their pots but cutting in half and looking at the throwing lines. See, even the masters do this!

Back by popular demand, I'll be offering Pottery Wheel throwing classes for beginners starting late August at Chestnut Creek School of the Arts, here in Galax. If you've ever desired to learn how to throw clay on the wheel be sure to sign up. There are only 6 slots available. Call Chestnut Creek School of the Arts to sign up fast! These classes fill quickly and it's been a few years since I've offered them. ALSO, if you know how to center but need a refresher lesson, give me a shout. I can do private lessons here at our Laughing Horse Pottery home studio to get you going again. https://chestnutcreekarts.org/learn/pottery/

Do you know Elephants never forget a face and hold deep bonds with friends and family? Fascinating creatures. I didn’t know this about the mind of an elephant until I was commissioned to make an elephant in memory of a lady’s son who passed tragically. If you have someone you’d like hold dear in your memory and want to purchase an elephant as a remembrance let me know. I’m happy to make you one. This one is for sale $149. It’s a combination of wheel thrown, hand built and slab built.
