IN THE COURTYARD OF WONDERS
Featured Clay Place Artist Jo Anne Gentine Joanne Gentine started throwing pottery on the wheel during the 1970s when her husband was stationed at Ft. Huachuaca, Arizona. As her family moved around with the Army, she studied at several junior colleges. In California she took classes at West Valley Community College and received her first commissions for large planters. In Maryland she worked at Harford Community College, which required even more travel and she gave up pottery. She retired a couple of years ago and the first thing she did was start throwing again. "The Clay Co-op is a perfect way for me to connect with other potters and share ideas."
Fred Mitchell After serving Air Force tours in Germany and Thailand, retiring from teaching in Jefferson County, then working as an XRay tech; it has been my pleasure to come back home and find such a flourishing art town. I began to make pottery around 2002 because I was drawn by the surprise factor of opening the kiln and the pure fun of playing with mud. My pottery is both functional and unique - no two pieces alike. Pottery-making has given me lots of enjoyment. It keeps me centered. The Old Guy in the Overalls
