My love of clay and its infinite possibilities began as a child the first time I took a Pottery Class at the Brooklyn Museum Art School. I watched how a lump of wet clay was held, shaped on the potter's wheel, and given graceful form; transformed in a way that appeared magical, and from that day on, I was hooked. Years later, I studied Art in college, and received my degree in Art Education at S.U.N.Y New Paltz. After graduating, I taught Art in both public and private schools, and later went back to school for an M.B.A. in Marketing. But whatever else was going on with my life or career, I always felt I needed to find a place where I could have my hands in clay. The medium inspired, intrigued, and never failed to excite me as its possibilities just seemed limitless.
My venture into ceramic jewelry came after many years of creating more functional pottery. I started experimenting with different small shapes that I call “wearable art” and from there, my love of doing these miniature creations really took off. I set up my own Ceramic studio and RG Clay Creations, Inc. was born. I truly do feel blessed to be doing something I love; something that can have me feel expressed in new ways and that also brings joy to others. |
