Our first contact with clay was a class taught by Bob Fazio. Bob is head of the Art Department at Baylor School in Chattanooga, TN. He was a student of Charles Counts a world renowned potter and author.
We next studied under Stephen Jepson of Geneva, FL. Stephen studied at Alfred University, known around the world for the ceramics program. Stephen operates his own studio and The World Pottery Institute. Stephen's Advertisements can be seen each month in Ceramics Monthly and Clay Times.
