Exploring Pottery

Nancy Johnson began learning pottery in 2005 when she began taking college courses. During her time at college she was a peer tutor in handbuilding pottery. She earned an AA and AFA at Anoka Ramsey Community College and a BA at the University of Minnesota graduating in 2013. Upon graduating she found a new place to practice ceramics at Hopkins Continuing Education at Eisenhower Community Center. When the instructor left in 2017, Nancy asked to become the Wednesday morning instructor. She has been helping other adults learn to make pottery since. In 2019 one of her ceramic pieces was selected for display in the Minnesota State Fair Fine Art Building during the fair.
