Course Description

Whether new to the wheel, or a graduate of our other clay programs, there’s something to gain for every level in this well- rounded course. Beginners will learn how to position on the wheel, build walls, and bring an imagined form to 3D reality. Further technique is learned as students choose from our selection of glazes to paint solid, patterned, or textured pieces with various surface treatments.

*Wheelthrowing can be very messy so please dress accordingly-short sleeves recommended. Feel free to bring an apron.

*Thanks to a generous donation from The Nantucket Golf Club Foundation, children’s class tuition is discounted 25%. (Discount automatically applied at checkout)

Tracy Ann Daily

Tracy Ann Daily is a native New Yorker and has live on Nantucket Island as a “washashore” for the last seventeen years. After discovering her passion for working with clay over twenty five years ago, from the moment she sat at a potter’s wheel and experienced the therapeutic nature of the medium, she knew that working with clay would be an immense part of her life. She has a profound appreciation for the creative process and the tactile sense that the clay offers. She creates wheel-thrown and hand-built pieces and has even composed a jewelry collection using her hand crafted “Bare” beads. In 2016, Tracy Ann was accepted as an Artist Member of the Artists Association of Nantucket and began teaching children and adult classes in 2017. She was the 2020 recipient of the AAN’s, Liz Schaeffler Sculpture/3D Award for her unique work in combining her pottery forms with handwoven basketry. In 2021, she was awarded the Randy M. Goldberger Teaching Award for her continuous work in guiding children in the art of pottery making. Tracy Ann’s graceful work is presently displayed for purchase at numerous island shops, AAN’s gallery openings and local craft shows, as well as online.
