Art Educator

Sydney Nahrgang

Hi! I'm Sydney, a ceramic artist with a Bachelors in Fine Arts from Fontbonne University, where I graduated in 2009 with an emphasis in ceramics. I have been working with clay ever since and especially love throwing on the wheel.  

​

In my classes, I aim to create a relaxed and supportive environment where students can experiment, ask questions, and enjoy the process of making.  I am all about helping you find your own rhythm with clay.

​

Let's make some beautiful things, learn an amazing art form and fun along the way!

Art Educator

Anna Katz

Anna is a ceramic sculptor whose work combines food, nostalgia, and technical prowess. Drawing inspiration from grocery aisles, Midwestern potlucks, and the comedy of the everyday, she crafts hyper-detailed ceramic sculptures that resemble familiar foods and easily recognizable, funny, and relatable objects.

​

Raised in Michigan, Anna now lives in Saint Louis and has been working with clay for over 25 years.

​

Anna has a Master of Arts in Teaching and enjoys seeing what kids in the studio create!
