“I was fortunate to have learned the fundamentals of working with clay from Dennis Staats, my teacher and mentor throughout my high school years. He taught me how to mix clay and glaze; how to construct and consider a pot —the foot, lip, and belly, the interior and exterior spaces; how does a cup feel when you bring it to your lip? Dennis taught me that clay can be an instrument and be formed to express ideas and emotions. Clay=poetry. Clay=life.” -Barb Campbell
