What students are saying about this class:
“I took this class as a way to get out of the house after having a baby, but loved it so much I signed up for 3 more. I’m learning to slow down and connect with the clay in order to produce better pieces/art. So many great life lessons to take away from these classes/teachers.” - Rachel
About the Instructor:
Mariza has always been an avid creative and maker for as long as she can remember. She followed her passion for clay by receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics and Certification to teach Art at JMU. She taught in Fairfax County Schools, Woodland Montessori, Spitzer Art Center and now Friendly City Clay. She is also a massage therapist and allows her artistic endeavors to flow through her hands to assist in the wellness of her community.
She comes to us as an instructor of wheel throwing as she is passionate about teaching what she learns and knows pedagogy is an avenue to improve the artistry of what she is immersed in. In addition to creating art in the studio, she is the Creative behind Mahalan Wellness and @marizadovisart. Her personal life is filled with lovingly tending to her family and friends, gardens of flowers and vegetables and her next poem to read or write.
