Instructor BIO:

Marian's background in pottery began in 1982 in Hawaii. She first studied wheel for several years. The adventure of hand building began in 2004 after retirement to Arkansas. Marian works with stoneware, porcelain, and earthenware (terra cotta) clays. She uses commercial glazes, pigments, and stains to achieve desired results, firing to clay-appropriate temperatures up to 2232° in an electric, oxidation kiln at her home studio near Yellville in Marion Co., AR. She considers her style to be organic and rustic. Teaching is Marian's favorite part of her clay journey, helping others to experience the excitement of creating something useful and/or beautiful from a hunk of partially dried mud.
