As a true passion, she continued to work with clay throughout school and received a bachelors of fine arts from Texas Tech university in 2014. Maura’s favorite things to make in clay are sea creatures, cactus flowers and cereal bowls.

Stephanie, Fused Glass Instructor
Stephanie Baness, a former litigation support analyst, followed her passion for glass art after studying at Sheridan College. Now based in Corrales, NM, she runs Moxie Sorbet Designs, crafting fused glass furnishings, jewelry, and tabletop accessories. Each piece is meticulously designed and handcrafted by Stephanie, blending beauty with function using vibrant colors and distinctive shapes.

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.
