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 earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in ceramics and sculpture from Colorado State University, where great teachers helped me grow. They showed me to look deeper and the difference between making and creating. I enjoy the process and love creating unique pieces. I then got a master's in fine arts from the University of Hartford, where I learned to think creatively and explore art's meaning in my life. After graduation, I spent many years in corporate America but kept working with clay. That experience gave me the skills to 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.
