About the Artist I first learned how to make pottery while attending college at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. There I began learning the arduous and exciting process of making pots. I earned a BFA in 2003 and upon graduation, decided to move to Pittsburgh to learn about the arts community and continue on my journey of making pots. In 2005, I began teaching at the Manchester Craftsman’s Guild where I taught for eight years. In 2010, I created my own home studio and Wolf’s Den Pottery was born. It was around this time I switched from pursuing high fire gas, soda and wood fired pots and began creating mid range porcelain pieces.
