Teacher Comment: “Riley Murray is a wonderful 3 dimension artist in my Pottery class currently. Her work is well thought out and detailed. This is difficult to attain with clay. Her attitude is always good even when things are not going her way in class with the clay. Her perseverance on the potter’s wheel is finally paying off!” –Art Teacher Ms. Cynthia Krebs

Artist Comment: “Steve Harvey was my inspiration because he had a big bushy mustache and a big smile. I used coil for his nose ring and added in smile lines and pores with a needle tool. I think that this was one of my best pieces because I put lots of work into it and I gave it a funny personal touch.” –Riley Murray
