Meet Val, a new instructor and kiln technician at Clawson Clay Guild. During her senior year of college in Florida, Val enrolled in a ceramics class on a whim. Although she had always enjoyed sculpting, there was something about working with clay that sparked a deeper, unexpected connection. She quickly fell in love with the medium, often dedicating more time to her ceramic work than to her own thesis.
That single class—along with the encouragement of a supportive teacher—ultimately reshaped the direction of her artistic journey. After graduating, making the shift to ceramics as her primary medium felt daunting, but Val embraced the challenge. She immersed herself in local ceramic communities, eager to learn and grow as much as possible.
After moving to Michigan in late 2023, finding a pottery studio was her top priority. She soon found her home at Clawson Clay Guild, where she discovered a welcoming, inspiring community filled with talented artists. Now, as both an instructor and kiln technician, Val is excited to share her knowledge and continue growing alongside others.
Stop in and say hello to Val—she’s happy to be part of the community and can’t wait to meet you!

Ready to take your pottery from “nice” to next-level?
Saturday April 18, 2:00 pm - Join Cheryl for an immersive glaze workshop where art meets science. This hands-on experience will guide you through the fundamentals of glaze application while uncovering what really happens when glaze meets clay and heat.

Through demonstrations, visual examples, and test glazing, you’ll explore techniques like dipping, pouring, brushing, and layering to create unique surface effects. We’ll also break down glaze composition and firing variables—so you’ll understand not just how to glaze, but why it behaves the way it does.

The workshop emphasizes not only how to apply a glaze, but also the basics of why it behaves the way it does. We’ll discuss glaze composition, firing vs application variables, and how these influence color, texture, and durability.

Whether you’re looking to refine your skills or gain more control over your results, this workshop will leave you feeling confident and inspired in your ceramic practice.
Please bring 1 bisque-fired bowl to use during the workshop—any size or shape is welcome. Imperfect pieces are encouraged, as we’ll be testing several techniques on this bowl.
