Hello, my name is Ms. Clay, also known as Stasia. I am an Art education major concentrating in ceramics. Recently I went on a trip to Seagrove North Carolina and I have to say, if you are a potter and yu have never been to Jugtown, it is worth the trip! I had a wonderful time visiting the studios and shops of these potters who have had clay in their family for generations.

I am also a big fan of George Ohr. He was self-proclaimed as the "Mad Potter of Biloxi." His wild processes and aesthetics made his work extremely popular.
