I have worked at PNW many years.  Between 2011 and 2013 I had a residency, one among a dozen overlapping residents.  As a new retiree I  launched whole heartedly into building and finishing work.  My ceramic work to that point was largely painted as its finish.  In my residency I worked heartily with underglazes as well as building larger work and trying out new bodies of work.  I tried some teaching and loved the community of people at PNW.
