Auburn Clay Arts Staff

Co-Owner

Sara learned to throw pots at Sierra College a number of years ago before becoming a student of Robert Dennon's in 2019. She prefers to work with the wheel, and gravitates toward simple, rustic forms that can be used in the home. Sara staffs open studio time on Thursday.

Jennifer has been making pottery since she was 13 and now enjoys hand building functional and decorative pieces. Her artwork is influenced by her life on the coast, her earth sciences career, and the cultural traditions of her family.

Aurora moved to Auburn a couple of years ago from her home in Hawaii, where she owned and managed a sushi restaurant. She is a calm and methodical potter, spending most of her time in the studio throwing tiny vases off the hump. She is a delightful, warm presence at Auburn Clay Arts.

Pat has been working with clay for more than a decade, primarily as a hand builder, though she has dabbled in sculpture and the wheel. She constructs elaborately designed pieces with animal and botanical motifs. She overflows with creative ideas - if you need a push in the right direction with your work, ask Pat!

Lots of fascinating information about Jon will be coming soon! In summary, he's a great guy with lots of experience in ceramics. His students love his calm and patient demeanor.
