Student Spotlight: Meet Patricia Gaston Bayne

Introducing... Patricia Gaston Bayne, our fabulous potter of the month! Patricia's passion for clay began long before she embarked on her pottery journey. From a young age, Patricia has always enjoyed playing in the mud, molding it into mud pies that sparked her creative spirit! In 2016, Patricia retired and found herself with the free time to pursue something she's always dreamed of... pottery! Six years later, she's still getting her hands dirty and making functional pottery that she generously gifts to her friends and family. There's no better gift than a handcrafted pot, and Patricia knows this better than anyone! As a cherished member of our community, Patricia's art brings us much joy. We can't wait to see what she comes up with next!
