Summer Sampler: Making Hamsa
Sampler | This program has been canceled
Join us as we make ceramic Hamsas. This ancient symbol of protection and strength. Believed to protect against evil, it often includes a Star of David, an eye, a fish, or other symbols. We will explore texture in clay through stamping and carving. Adding a colorful glaze finishes the projects.

I create joyful pottery that blends modern design with a mid-century vibe, inspired by my love of the intricate patterns and quiet beauty I find in nature. I make my pottery with others in mind, as I believe we are connected through the use and display of thoughtfully hand-crafted objects. I hope my pottery enhances daily rituals, inviting you to slow down, take notice, and find a moment of contentment in the everyday. Over the years, teaching has become an extension of my creative process. I find great joy in making the world of ceramics accessible to others — whether through individual projects, workshops, or installations that bring communities together. In both the solitude of the studio and the energy of the classroom, clay continues to challenge and inspire me. Each piece I create reflects my passion as a maker.
