Patti Warashina

Being an artist was not the career Patti Warashina's parents had in mind for her when she was growing up in Spokane. Warashina enrolled at the UW intent on becoming a dental hygienist. However, one day she took a required elective in beginning drawing. Another art class introduced her to clay. That did it! She switched majors and went on to become one of America's foremost ceramic artists.

Clay at Home: Artist Talk with Kevin Snipes

The Clay Studio serves artists in the community and its community with art. We were founded in 1974 by a group of 5 ceramic artists seeking a shared space and mutual support, but they soon realized their work embraced something broader: to educate and engage the larger community with the joy of making in clay. Today The Clay Studio supports 65 Resident and Associate artists and welcomes 4,700 students in their classrooms every year, while also serving 3,800 schoolchildren and adults in the Philadelphia area. We offer classes and workshops year round in handbuilding, wheel-throwing, casting and glazing, for people of all ages, from beginner to advanced. These online how-to demos are tutorials created by ceramic artists that anyone can do at home. They celebrate the idea that homemade is handmade, and they connect artists with people right where they live. Enjoy!
