Let’s make mud pies!! Seems like I’ve always liked playing in the sand or mud building things! It all started in Northern California while in grammar school with my first pinch dish, then at the age of twelve I was enrolled into a Parks and Recreation beginner ceramics class. That was where I really learned of all the different types of clay, glazes, firing techniques and the like! At fourteen I went to my first Raku party at an artist compound of which really opened my eyes to different interpretations of the craft. Needless to say, I was the youngest there at that bohemian artist party and had not been around “Artists” who were thirty and over in the 1970s! But that’s another story!!
