MEET SOME OF THE GREAT GUEST INSTRUCTORS BELOW:
Introducing Singh:
I have been teaching art for the past 26 years. I am passionate about art and believe that it is a valuable tool for personal expression, creativity, and problem-solving. I am also committed to providing all students with a challenging, yet fun, experience.
I started my teaching career in the Chicago Public Schools where I taught all grade levels. For the past 18 years I taught in Riverside at the Jr. High level; where I had the opportunity to teach a wider range of art classes, there I taught drawing, painting, printing, sculpture, and ceramics.
I realized early on how much I loved teaching art and helping students discover their own creativity. I believe that art is for everyone, and I am passionate about helping students discover their own artistic voice.
Introducing Jamie:
Art has been my passion since I was a kid. I have always loved artwork that you can pick up and hold in your hands. As a high school art teacher, ceramics is by far the BEST subject to teach. I love watching students grow as artists and create work that reflects their personality. Outside of clay, I like to create comic books, hike with my dog, and take road trips with my husband. I am excited to work with aspiring artists of all backgrounds at Bothwell Pottery!
Introducing Abby Troyer:
Abby is currently an art teacher at Cossitt Elementary in LaGrange Distict 102.
Thank you Greta for this amazing cicada!
CLAY CAMP
About me
My passion for Pottery started in 2014. While I have created with clay since high school, throwing on the pottery wheel fascinated me. Bothwell Pottery has long been a dream of mine. Offering handbuilding and wheel classes to artists young and old. Outside of art, I love fishing, skiing and travelling.
