Terra Sigillata is an especially fine coating of clay that is applied to ceramic
pieces.  This amazing ancient process can be applied to your work.   It is waterproof and can be buffed for a shine.  In this class we will make a small sculpture/or vessel and then decorate it with the terra sigillata.

Need a new backsplash for your kitchen or just a fun accent for your home?  Attend this workshop.  We will learn to make tiles with low and high relief and decorate them with colored slips.               

I received a B.F.A. in Ceramics from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte,  M.F.A at the University of Georgia.  I have spent the last few years teaching and showing my work, but my interest for a career in art began at an early age.  As a child I loved all arts and crafts.   Now I enjoy teaching others about this amazing material.  The majority of my work is handbuilt sculpture that incorporates my passion for vessels and the history of pottery.
