About Chris

As artist, educator, and potter, since 1995 I have taught in a host of contexts from University, to artist residencies in Portland Public Schools, to working with an elementary student and his grandmother, in my own studio over the past four summers. I teach connecting with clay in visible and material ways, connecting with the self, the heart and hands, and connecting with larger world of humans living on this planet through images, stories, and records of things made in clay!
