I also occasionally produce mid range stoneware pottery with carved surfaces in quiet glazes when I miss functional pottery making. I continue to work in clay because it has so many options. I can strive to perfect a form, a glaze, or a persons expression and features.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I taught at the Des Moines Art Center for 29 years and now work full time in my personal studio in a renovated carriage house.
