Sarah Boudinot teaches most of our wheel based classes. Sarah says “My name is Sarah Boudinot and I just received my BFA from SUNY New Paltz. I am so grateful for the meditative experience that working with clay provides. I like to experiment with many different forming and firing processes. At my core, I am a wheel enthusiast! I gravitate towards calming earth tones and firing clay bare without glaze.” Follow her work here.
