Jenny Ditto, Instructor

Professional potter, Jenny Ditto, aka the Midnight Potter, teaches wheel throwing on the potter's wheel. She has over 40 years of clay work experience and 25 years teaching wheel classes. Her life goal is to create an art center in Anchorage for Clay, Glass, & Metal mediums with other dedicated community minded people.
Jenny has developed a quick-study method to teach you how to throw on a potter's wheel. Within 1 - 6 hours of her detailed guidance, you'll be centering and throwing. (Not a guarantee for everyone. Some learn much quicker than others.) On your own, learning to throw can takes months to achieve.
Jenny enjoys cooking with the pottery vessels she makes and dining with hand made pottery at home. She does bookkeeping by day and pottery classes by night. For more info go to Jenny's website midnightpotter.weebly.com

Hannah Glaves, Instructor

Studio potter & multimedia artist, Hannah Glaves, joined the studio in the summer of 2021 and is teaching hand building & wheel throwing pottery classes for teens and adults in the studio. Her journey with clay began in 2008 and she is always looking for new ways to experiment and improve her technique. In her free time she enjoys working in other art mediums including drawing, acrylic painting, pyrography, embroidery, and sculpting. Her work is often inspired by the wilderness of Alaska that she loves to explore with family and friends. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree with a minor in Psychology from UAA.

We are seeking several art instructors to design, market, and offer classes in various mediums in our studio. Instructors of Pottery, Sculpture, Poly Clay, Crafts, Drawing, and acrylic painting are desired. Our clientele include adults, teens, and kids ages 8 and up.
