One of my favorite things about running a community studio is getting to watch people discover a new creative passion and make it their own. Stephanie is such an inspiration—what started as a bucket-list pottery class quickly grew into a dedicated practice, involving countless hours in the studio, and an exploration of forms inspired by her Korean heritage. Along the way, she's become a joyful part of our creative community, bringing curiosity, determination, and a willingness to keep learning—even when the clay has other plans. I loved hearing more about her story, and I'm excited to share it with you.

Last call to learn to make these amazing sculptural boxes. Believe it or not, this class is open to anyone with a basic knowledge of handbuilding. Spend a day learning Steve Palmer's unique decoration and sculpture techniques. Two of these projects are by students from the last workshop, and two are by Steve. Can you tell which is which?
