MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST
Hi - I am the creative force behind Ceramicscapes (an art and clay studio) and have been a member of the Colorado Potters Guild since 2008.
This summer, my husband and I relocated to Fort Collins from Denver after our daughter started college - but I travel frequently to Denver to visit family and friends. I also love sharing my love of clay with others young and old alike.
I have a BFA in Art with a concentration in ceramics and have been working with clay since 2001. I have previously taught after school kid's clay classes at a Denver Public School, The Art Student's League of Denver and Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass, CO. In addition, I have also taught basic clay "crafty happy hours" at client's homes. Contact me at hello@ceramicscapes.com if you are interested in hosting a private party.
