Amber and Rae are two of my students that have been painting weekly with me since March of 2005. Our class meets from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. every Friday in my home studio.

LAPA teachers association

 

In June of 2004, before moving to New Bern, I had the honor of teaching a class for the Louisiana Porcelain Art Teachers in Alexandria, Louisiana.

Craven Continuing Education Class students

 

During the summer of 2005, I taught a "faux decorating" class for Craven's Continuing Education. This particular class taught students how to obtain a crackle finish on wood. We also created different stains for pickling wood.

During the 2005 holidays, we painted male and female cardinals. Amber painted this plate.

Lustered Leaf candy dish

 

This leaf dish had an amber luster applied and fired initially. On a sub-sequent firing, gold luster accented the outer edges.
