Instructor Bio: Robyn Brakel took a wheel throwing class on a whim 12 years ago and became mesmerized by clay and its ability to be manipulated. She received her Bachelors of Art from University of Texas, San Antonio, and after working as a potter for several years, began doing sculpture work in clay. She received a Masters Degree in Studio Art from CSU, Sacramento in 2017. Her experience includes teaching several workshops on hand building, teaching ceramics and Raku at Solano Community College and American River College, and working in her home studio in Folsom, CA.
