I am interested in woodworking

Art has always been a central part of my life and identity, and of all the many art forms, I am most passionate about ceramic art. I have been working with clay since I was eight years old, and it continues to be the most alluring, fun, and challenging art form I have ever experienced. For me, ceramics is not simply a hobby; it is a passion I plan to carry with me into my adult life. I am currently pursuing a minor in visual art at Harvard College and plan to work towards an MFA after college. I am so excited to share my love of clay with SCS and the Shelburne community!

Hi! Can't wait to get back into art! I was a teacher for camp there many years ago! I managed many of the paint your own pottery studios that used to be everywhere. Since then I worked in vintage clothing and did design for Pottery barn. Now I am a mom and wife who recently moved to Charlotte! I can't wait to reconnect with the Shelburne Craft School and remember how to throw clay!

I teach chemistry full-time at UVM but art has always been a huge part of my life. Finally, after years of watching my daughter enjoy the classes and camps at the Shelburne Craft School, I decided to take a clay class.

Looking to join a creative community to rekindle my love of art!

28, VT local I have a very challenging and technical job that I love, but I have found that an unfortunate byproduct of a highly technical focused life for me has lead to a loss of connection with my creative side.. Which I do not dig, so, I am making a point to refocus time and energy into igniting creativity and finding a better balance! I’m a beginner(ish) to oil, I have painted watercolors for years, and have dabbled in pastels and drawing. Now I’m looking to expand my skill set and try a new medium. I am very much looking forward to joining the community! :)

I paint the majority of my works in the Vermont Landscape. Painting is all about color, light and shapes. I am constantly working a painting to reflect the color and light of an object or landscape. If an artist can capture color and light then the artist can capture the moment. I like to think of my paintings as capturing a moment in time, including the emotion experienced in that moment. The ultimate goal of a work is to share the beauty of the moment with the viewer.

Playing in clay is a way for me to practice life lessons like being centered, getting messy, and letting go. I love the process of creating and being surprised by the result, and I am eager to learn more about this flexible and multifarious medium.
