I'll be doing some small free mini-classes there from time to time.... Be the first to know. I will be announcing classes via the mailing list before they are posted to facebook and twitter or otherwise advertised link on Contact Me page.

In 2009 I began teaching sculpting beginning as a guest at FaerieCon and since including online tutorials for Custom Dolls Houses and Miniatures (CDHM.org), in magazines, and as a guest in stores and galleries. Here is where you can find info on upcoming classes and articles and how to register. I take a very explorative approach to teaching the craft. So often learning a new technique can be intimidating and crush the excitement to create. In class we try to set a tone of playfulness and exploration, and the results are magical! People who had never touched clay before come up with the most wonderful and creative pieces. This is what I hope to teach in my classes. The joy of exploring your own creativity and some skills to work the medium so you can accomplish this! Here are a few pictures of work from a recent basic sculpting class. Most of these folks had tried this sort of thing before and their work was glorious.
