Celebrating a Studio Filled with Joyful Making!!
Our Fall Classes generated a lot of wonderful creating by the student community. Seeing it all coming through the kilns, I marveled at the array of diversity.

What I can tell you is that the work they're best known for was made from both steel and glass. Personally, I'm gobsmacked by the prolific nature of this artist's studio life. They exceed all ordinary boundaries which invites the viewer to question their own assumptions regarding limita
