As a young kid I always enjoyed making things. No matter what – I
was intrigued with the materials, shapes, color, tools, or any various
aspect that went into a certain project. In college I knew that metals
and jewelry were to be my concentration, but in my senior year I took
the required “ceramics” class and from there I was hooked.

My teaching career was spent building a college level pottery program
at Lakeland H.S. and near the end of my career I was smitten by the
“tile “ bug after taking a week long tile workshop at Miami of Ohio.

This led to the making of a tile mural at L.H.S.
which hangs in the library. Now that I am retired
from teaching I continue with clay for my
amusement and fun. The learning never ends.
