Yes, You Can

Paint Ceramics

I will show you how

Join us July 15th and 16th, 2011, for an exciting workshop in Spring City, Utah

All you have to do is show up

You don't have to go to Italy because I have been there

and I will teach you what I have learned

I have given away my guest cottage to the first student who signed up

However, another guest cottage is available just over the fence and up the street ($85 a night)

Susan's Cabin

Two can sleep in Susan's beautifully restored cabin

A total of only 4 students accepted

Once you have learned how to paint tiles you can paint plates, bowls, cups, murals and more

Hope to see you in Spring City

Please contact me through my Etsy shop

They are out of the Kiln

I have a bunch of great students. Their work is as varied as their personalities and their ages.

Cindy, student, mother, and housewife has taken an earlier workshop from me. She is painting 42 more tiles, all putti, for her little boys' bathroom.


May has never painted a tile nor has Ricky

Not too bad for a first timer




May is an artist, you can tell.

Many more tiles will come out of the kiln today. Everyone had a very busy day yesterday. Today, last day, is always the most productive. The kiln will be working overtime. I will keep you posted.

Today is the Day

Today begins the 3-day historic tile Painting Workshop. I never know what my students will be like. I could have a genius amongst them . . . . we will see.







This is "my" desk at the Scuola d' Arte in Deruta, Italy. My very first attempt painting ceramics in the maiolica style. Nothing was familiar, especially the brushes. I have since been to many places in the world and have learned many new (at least to me) techniques and, hopefully, I will have the opportunity to learn many more.


Pictures of failures and successes of my students' work is forthcoming.
