Drawing for Potters
Potters often have particular needs and hang ups about drawing that go unrecognized by their teachers. If you think you can't draw, don't give up! As both a potter and a graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, I have some strategies to show you that will open up whole areas of imagination you didn't know you had! Arm yourself with a 9x12 sketchbook, pens and pencils and come prepared to concentrate and enjoy.
