Hello! My name is Thao, I was first introduced to ceramics at Mission College, where I discovered my passion for working with clay. As a Studio Art major with over five years of teaching experience, pottery has become one of the most meaningful parts of my creative journey. To me working with clay is relaxing because it allows me to slow down, focus, and be fully in the moment. I love sharing that experience with students and creating a welcoming space where they can feel comfortable, creative, and confident while exploring ceramics.
