My passion for pottery has been undeniable ever since my freshman year art class. The moment I first got on the wheel, I felt unbelievably free. I signed up for a wheel-throwing class the next day. That summer, I got a wheel at home. When sophomore year started, I became an apprentice at the Palo Alto Art Center and learned many new things. Loading and unloading kilns, how to teach and help others with wheel throwing, and patience were all skills I learned during my apprenticeship. Pottery is something I love, and I’m happy that I can share that love with all of you.
