Crete Chae Clay, Student works, Drawing, Ceramics- Fall , Winter and finally Spring.

Well, I did say quarterly and oh my has it taken a turn to find the time.

Highlights of the past several months - Crete Chae Clay workshop at fabulous arts was a wonderful experience in October, I will be planning more workshops. My regular students blew me away with their growth in a single term and spring studio news.

First and foremost crete chae time in my own studio after a year . Large wall hung mirror in progress .

 Having clear space, some peace, less clutter and a lot less stress is a transition . Several months into the process I am finding some motivation to be back in the studio.

Spring cleaning has involved a lot of things leaving the house and studio , Even when you know some things are dumpster material it can take time to release them.

A new home is in the making and adding herons, dragonfly's and color all mean there is a valid reason and the mindset for personal studio work. I have been focused on finding peace and purpose: working more slowly and enjoying the extraordinary simple pleasure of a chaos cleared and silent space.

My teaching at the local community college continues , adding drawing to my courses this term which I have very much enjoyed.. As always I am still teaching ceramics and the spring semester is winding down with a student exhibition at the college now.

A few of this semesters strong works from students shown below.

There is purpose to each day that brings another student into better skills and success.

Every smile makes my day , click through to see more of this terms student works from ceramics and drawing courses.

Spring is springing and I'm looking forward to continued growth for all in safe spaces, calm studios and happy homes.
