Studio Together: student work

Marty told her friend and colleague,  Eri,  about the classes.  Eri joined us in March 2019.  "Pottery class with  Diana  is a great creative outlet that I look forward to every week! I like that  Diana  is willing to be as hands on or hands off as you want them to be -  they are always available to guide you or lend a hand,  but also gives you enough space to find your own creative process.   Class times and dates are super flexible, and I also get to socialize with my friend Martha!   All in all a very satisfying way to spend two hours."  - Eri (Oct. 2019) Here Eri throwing in 2021...during the Pandemic: Posted end of 2021, this is her most recent top picks (my opinion anyway)  from the past couple of years: Eri makes a lot of planters and air plant wall-pockets.

This is (some of) what they made: Will and Dina came the first half of the year, 2019. Will was a senior in high school. He wanted to make gifts for all his teachers for the many past years of helping him. He did well, considering he is legally blind. Below is some of the many bowls/cups that they made as a team. Both threw, trimmed, and glazed. Most of the pots were purple to go with Will's school colors, but they tried a couple of other color combinations too. " Diana  has helped me improve my ceramic skills and  I have been able to make beautiful pieces under their guidance!" -  Will Below, Will is using a stutter tool to add texture to some bowls after trimming the foot.
