High School Pottery Demonstration

February 6, 2019

After graduating from Higley High School in 2016, I was invited to return to my old ceramics teacher’s class. I demonstrated throwing on the potter’s wheel to four high school classes, totaling 120+ students. I shared my story, answered questions about my college experience, and demonstrated throwing two pieces on the potter’s wheel for each class.

Wheel Throwing Class

November 5, 2020

At the non-profit Idaho Art Lab in Saint Anthony, Idaho, I taught a wheel throwing class to members of our geriatric community. I successfully taught them all the steps to create a flower pot on the potter’s wheel.

Candle Holder Workshop

February 15, 2020

In my home in Gilbert, Arizona, I taught a three hour workshop to six eager students. I guided them through creating a pinch pot from wet clay and carving their own candle holder from a pre-thrown vase. I answered questions about pottery, the process of creating ceramics, and best practices for balancing mental health.
