A little about Pam
Several years ago on a whim, Pam enrolled in an intro to pottery class and quickly discovered how enjoyable it is to create something from a ball of clay. Pottery provides her with a great way to relax and disengage a bit from the daily tasks of work and life. She also enjoys gardening, as well as taking care of her growing collection of orchids and other house plants.
