Now that you have at least two semesters of Beginner/Intermediate Handbuilding and Wheel classes under your belt, you’re ready to move on to our more advanced classes.
Working with world-class teaching artists, you’ll explore your personal voice through clay and learn how to develop personal work as you build on your skillset with more advanced techniques. All levels cover glazes, surface decoration and the use of slips.
About the studios: With 25 electric potters’ wheels, a gas reduction kiln and three electric kilns, 92NY’s Ceramics Center is one of the best equipped in NYC. During the fall and spring semesters students have the opportunity to take classes using stoneware. In the summer, porcelain is the material of choice. All work is glaze-fired to cone 10. Clay is included in the cost of tuition (unless you use bagged clay, which may be purchased for $20 per 25-pound bag). Our firing charge is 5c per cubic inch for two firings for all work made in classes and workshops. Students must supply their own tools, which may be purchased from 92NY.

She taught as an adjunct professor at the University of Akron and currently teaching at Hofstra University, 92NY, The Clay Space, and The Brick House. Her ceramic work inspires functionality related to food, culture, and their artistic movement in our history in how we live our everyday lives. Her style of work is a collaboration of classic ceramics with a design background, throws, and altered surface decoration forms. She admires products made up of three things; water, clay, and fire which gives fundamental similarities that connect functional pottery with everyday human life.
