Free Abandon

Put a young student on a pottery wheel and let the clay and good times roll! I have been teaching kids of all ages in the tri-state area for nearly 5 years. Teaching children is a great joy and poses different challenges & perks then working with adults.

A fair observation built on teaching hundreds of students - children & adults alike - is that as humans we often become more critical of ourselves and sadly, sometimes each other - taking it all too seriously. Our ability to jump in with free abandon wanes as the years roll by. Luckily, not the case with most 5 year olds!

I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to teach the arts & enjoy silliness all in the same moment. My young students are a great reminder of how we should approach life...energized with insatiable curiosity and spiritedness.......one moment at a time.

Fun Times with the students of PS101

I had a wonderful day with the kids of New York's Public School 101! The students ranged in age from 4 - 12 years old and were so much fun to teach. With the older children we took on the challenge of making fun & scary masks that can be hung on the wall to enjoy. The younger students did a great job of working with clay to create bowls, cups, or as in one case, nearly 65 mini men! (see photo)
