| I have been a studio clay artist for 40 years, teaching clay since
1986, the last fifteen years at Tennessee Technological University's Appalachian
Center for Craft, one of the best fine-craft studio facilities in the
nation. Our BFA program is unique among university art programs, in our mission
to offer the highest quality professional fine craft education in clay,
glass, metals, fibers, and wood, with an emphasis on traditional process
and craftsmanship in the context of
contemporary craft. The Craft Center is located in central Tennessee sixty miles east of
Nashville just off I-40, on a wilderness
tract adjacent to Center Hill Lake.
Our grounds and galleries are open seven days a week, and we invite you to
visit. Check the Directions to ACC.
To see work by clay students at the Craft Center, go to the Gallery
page, where you will also find images of my work past and present and an artist's
statement.
To find out about studio safety at the Craft Center or in any ceramic studio, go
to Studio Safety. Go to Syllabi for information
about the studio courses I teach at the Craft Center, plus a variety of articles
and handouts, including How
to Write an Artist's Statement, How
to Critique, a list of Pottery-Friendly
MFA Programs in the USA and Canada, a Glossary
of Ceramic Terminology, and an index
of my Tool Times columns in Clay
Times magazine.
