Originally, I planned to take one session of classes, learn a few techniques, and make some functional pieces of art. I’m now a few months into this journey, and I’ve come to realize I’m (unabashedly) addicted to clay. With Rachelle as my clay guru, a new world has opened up to me. A world where mud is my mental therapy that helps me leave life’s stresses at the studio door. The added benefit – sharing this experience with people who have the same passion for mud manipulation, and who have become my biggest supporters and friends during this artistic exploration. Thank you, Rachelle, for creating this wonderfully satisfying and supportive environment, where the clay community – newcomers and experts – can come together to share in their creative adventures.
