What part of Teton Arts Mission or programs are you most passionate about? I am most passionate about our Intro to Clay Arts classes as well as our Hand-building classes because they introduce alternative methods of working with clay which I believe can broaden artists' horizons and can help evolve a more unique expression within people's work. All of us need to be exposed to ceramics and art in general that falls outside of the category of utilitarian, wheel-thrown objects, aka "the norm".
