Most of the class will be guided by the needs and interests of participating students. Participants are encouraged to bring examples of their favorite pieces of pottery to help inspire their own creations.

Isabel Souza is a ceramic artist and teacher based in Truro, Massachusetts. Isabel’s goal as a ceramic artist is to create objects that hold stories and add meaning to our surroundings. Her designs aim to feel personal in how they interact with the human body, whether it is a mug that we hold to our lips and cradle in our hands for warmth, a serving bowl that is passed between loved ones at a dinner table or a pair of vibrant earrings that we thread through our ears on special occasions. Isabel’s hope is that her works spark as much joy for their users as the creative process kindles for her.
