I had hoped to attend a class to learn how to do slab pots, but at that time (about two years ago)I was told that even the waiting list was full.

Instead, I took a course in clay sculpture through the Life-Long Learning College.
(Lynn Thomas- instructor)
Although our class was held at Laurel Manor,
Lynn transported and fired our student pieces in her own kiln at home.

Lynn is an outstanding, classically trained sculptor…. and shares her knowledge with gentle grace.
A lovely woman - a very patient, encouraging teacher. I was a raw beginner, as were many of us there.

I enjoyed her class immensely and found working in clay, especially at portraiture, was a sensual and profound experience.

Gracie, Google Lynn's website- she's done a portrait bust of Mother Theresa (that she sanctioned) that you will appreciate!
