Instructing Inspiration

I’m always amazed at the work of my beginning Hand-building and Wheel students each semester at Hood College! They come a long way from first piece to final project. While I love seeing their own growth, I’m always amazed at how their explorations and ideas inspire my own work, always keeping me trying to new things and asking “what if”! Here are a few samples of student work from this semester finished in the electric kiln and a few fired in the soda kiln.
