Prior to metal clay, my interests varied from drawing and painting to quilt making and gardening. I have written numerous articles on metal clay projects, and have written a book for advanced metal clay artists. The book,"Metal Clay - Beyond the Basics" will be released February 2008, by Kalmbach Publishing.
I teach metal clay classes and workshops in Nashua, NH in a great studio in the Picker Building, one of the old fabric mill buildings. My classes are fresh and I am always excited and interested in meeting and working with each and every student.
I am an award winning member of the Art Clay Society, an Aida Certified Art Clay Senior Instructor, Juried member of the Dunstable Artisans, a State Juried Member of The League of NH Craftsmen, a member of the Enamel Guild, Northeast, and PMC Certified Levels I & II.
