Rachel Jaffe: Ceramics
Throughout my creative journey I have learned that the most joy is found by sharing my passion with others. I’ve taken ceramic classes in and out of school (another long journey), worked full time at a pottery studio, and instructed after school multi-media art classes for young children in my hometown Falls Church, Virginia. As an aspiring young artist I hope to expand my growth and knowledge of this ancient art form and can think of no better way than to learn through teaching others. I am pursuing this dream by gaining as much experience as possible and continuing my art education at SMCC.
