I’m  Hannah, and my journey with pottery began in 2019 with an intro to pottery night class. Since then, I’ve been hooked. I stopped when the rest of the world did in 2020, but found myself drawn back to ceramics with an open Independent Artist spot at Kimball Jenkins at the end of 2022. After that, I fully immersed myself into the world of ceramics at Kimball Jenkins, and gradually evolved into an instructor, teaching pottery nights and weekly beginner classes!

Having been an art enthusiast my whole life, I never thought I would be as involved in the art community as I am today. I never “trained” to be an artist, or a teacher for that matter.  I am what many would call a “serial hobbiest” where I have tried many different hobbies and art styles, but ceramics has been a constant for the past few years. It’s the draw of working with your hands, having the flexibility to make anything you want, and also still having the option to paint on ceramics is really exciting to me. To me, any worries from the day go away when I step into the studio, and I know others feel the same. 

Ultimately, it’s the community that Kimball Jenkins has created within its walls that makes this place so special. The campus, the faculty, and the students who make this space vibrant is why I look forward to giving so much back to it. I am incredibly grateful to have this space to create and share my love for pottery with Concord and our surrounding communities!
