My name is Sara Cantlon and I have been working in Ceramics for over 34 years. I am a certified teacher and CFE Licensed Associate. My proudest accomplishment is my Instructor and Judges certification with Ceramic Art Institute (CAI).

I am experienced with both High and Low fire ceramics and have been since 1976. I have taught in California, Arizona, New Mexico Utah, Oregon and Oklahoma. The most exciting and challenging teaching for me was in Australia!

General Definitions of Ceramic shops in THE area:
