About the instructor:
Rebecca Blevins grew up in Appalachia playing on the clay banks of Watauga Lake in EastTennessee. She has taught ceramics in various studio settings as an adjunct professor, community educator, and private instructor for over 10 years. The artist is currently working out of her studio in the woods in Ashland City, TN where she continues to pursue experimentation of form using both hand building and wheel throwing techniques. She has also started digging clay and gathering local raw materials with the hope to incorporate a more trial and error approach to her practice. She is equal parts teacher, potter, sculptor, and experimenter. In her studio it is not uncommon to find a perfectly thrown vessel next to a silly animal form or a lumpy cup. All are welcome.
