It's pretty simple.  You, as the student, tell me what you are wanting to accomplish.  Either learning from the basics or trying to create something specific, I can help.  We start with finding out what You are capable of through some basic exercises either in throwing on the wheel, drawing, or painting.  We then go from there!

I have a degree in fine art.  I've been teaching on different levels to people from different walks of life for 20 years.  The most important thing is, I love helping people grow with their creativity and learn new skills and gain new tools that will enhance everything they do.

I charge $25/person/hour, if you have all of your supplies for painting classes or workshops.  If you don't have supplies of your own, it will be $35/person/hour.  For pottery lessons, it is $50/person/hour.  This includes all supplies and firings.  

I got started teaching when a friend reached out asking for help at a newly established community center in upstate NY.  It was an underserved area and the kids needed an outlet for expression.  I taught in the basement of an old courthouse for a couple of years before moving on to a different state.

I have worked with all types of students.  ALL.

Look for someone with a great deal of experience and an absolute love for teaching.  I often see artists who aren't that interested in teaching, but do it for the money, so their instructing skills are subpar and "bedside" manner is abhorant.  

You want a teacher to ask YOU about your needs.  What you expect to gain out of instruction.
