RiverArts is pleased to name Michael Pugh as the new Clay Studio manager. Jessica Coner, who has managed the studio since 2014, will continue to participate as an experienced potter and clay teacher.
Pugh, a seasoned educator, has taught science and math in the Baltimore public schools and special adult programs for the past decade. He and his partner, John Schratweiser, are in the process of moving to Chestertown permanently. His avocation has always been in pottery and the American craft tradition. He brings strong technical and aesthetic skills to RiverArts after years of study and work in his own studio.
The RiverArts Clay Studio provides equipment and workspace for potters through its Open Studio hours, as well as offering introductory classes for potters and sculptors through advanced workshops.
Pugh wrote, “Artisans are known for their celebration of community and peer support.” He is a welcome addition to RiverArts and the greater community.
