Meet The Cedar Oak Farm Pottery Instructors
Kay Lapp
Hi, my name is Kay! I’ve been making pottery for about six years and teaching for two. I specialize in wheel throwing and love sharing my passion for ceramics with others. My work is deeply inspired by nature, and I strive to reflect its beauty and organic forms in my pieces. Teaching brings me so much joy, as I get to help others explore their creativity and discover the magic of working with clay.
Tanya Pohlmann
I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree for both ceramics and sculpture at Colorado State University where I had several amazing instructors that helped me grow. They taught me how to see beyond face value and the difference between making and creating. I love the making process, but enjoy when I have the opportunity dig deep to create something unique. I went on to pursue a masters degree in fine arts at the University of Hartford where I learned to think outside of the box and truly explore art and its meaning in my life. After obtaining my degree, I spent too many years in corporate America but continued creating in clay. This timeframe gave me the tools I needed to take the leap and start my own business.
I am excited to provide a different kind of environment for people to be creative. The Art School offers wheel throwing, Hand-Building and Sculpture classes. In time, I hope to provide space for studio artist and start a regenerative educational garden with space for artists and gardening enthusiasts to enjoy.
