"Life is learning experience. Clay is the best teacher I know. It teaches me to be patience, honesty, integrity and it inspire me to do the best I can. We all learn compassion and composure. Being able to share what I can by guiding my students to find their own state of bliss is an amazing experience." -Delora

Delora's education includes UC Santa Barbara, Golden West College, and California State University of Long Beach.

She is now teaching ceramic workshops for adults and children.
