Andrea is a certified Art Teacher and has taught high school and college for most of her life. Her focus is on inclusivity and the belief that art is a bridge connecting all social, emotional, and political aspects of life. Focusing on the centering of clay on a wheel can center your whole being. Hammering a piece of wire into a spiral form can connects us to the history of the Greek and Roman Empires or African jewelry design, along with the satisfaction of creating an original work of art.
