She has been creating and teaching classes and private students at the Craft Students League,the JCC and in her midtown Manhattan studio for many years Students learn pottery, PMC and sculpture techniques and are encouraged to develop their own individual styles of handmade artwork.
		The newest creative adventure is PMC. The workshops in Precious Metal Clay (aka Art Silver Clay or Friday Saturdaay and Sunday) cover precious metal clay in all its forms -- clay, syringe, paste and paper sheets. The versatility of the silver clay and the ease of the techniques of working with it makes classes productive, full of surprises and lots of fun! Students go home with many fine finished pieces in only a few days.
