Katherine DrummondKatherine Drummond is a homeschool parent and a small business owner. As a young child Katherine loved to create and make. Unfortunately, there weren’t many outlets for her to use her creativity and grow as an artist. She first learned to make wheel-thrown pottery in 2005 when she was getting her teaching degree. The pottery studio was where her creativity really soared, and she spent many long hours learning the art form while getting her degree as an educator. Since that time she has worked as an elementary teacher and been a community member in a variety of pottery studios. She has also built out her own home studio where she can create freely and has the privilege of sharing her work online, in galleries, the National Parks gift shops and a variety of art markets. Katherine is a big believer that clay is magic. It offers a unique experience that just can’t be found in other art forms. Children rarely have the ability to get wet and messy in a classroom setting and creating a safe space for them to do this provides them a joyful freedom and growth in an endless array of skills. This freedom is invaluable in creating self-esteem and self-expression. Working with clay is a sensory experience developing motor skills, problem solving, discipline and pride. It’s also uniquely therapeutic using both sides of the brain at the same time. Katherine thinks everyone should work with clay and that it is very character building.
