Maura’s favorite things to make in clay are sea creatures, cactus flowers and cereal bowls.
Pat, Ceramic Instructor
Pat (Patti) has been creating with clay for more than 40 years. She has enjoyed sharing her love and knowledge of clay with students of all ages for almost as long. Over the years Pat has explored both hand-building and throwing on the wheel including working as a production potter.

Steve, Ceramics Instructor
Steve began his love affair with clay in kindergarten when he made his first clay creation. Ceramics classes in junior high and high school intensified his passion for clay. Learning Japanese Raku technique in high school, and building and firing a traditional wood-fired kiln was a pivotal experience. He went on to study ceramics as a Fine Arts major at UNM, then later started his studio in Corrales, NM, producing functional stoneware. He's excited to share his love for clay with his students and hopes they catch the passion he did.
