About the Artist
Originally from Mexico City, she lived in China, Vietnam, India, and Malaysia before setting up her studio in Portland, OR.
Her love for nature has been a signature stamp that she includes in her work.
Teaching Philosophy
Veronica looks for engaging the students with movement and showing them different art works first, then she let them find their own creativity. She believes each of us have something to express and that can be done through art.

Program Description
Teachers will learn hand building techniques like pinch pottery, coil building, and slab building. Hand building technique involves creating forms without a pottery wheel, using the hands, fingers, and simple tools. While teachers are learning to manipulate clay and how to work with it, they will be introduced to the ways clay can be used as a language for self expression and physical understanding and how to use these techniques with their students.
For schools without a kiln or who don't want to fire the pieces, there is an option to paint the pieces with acrylic paint at the workshop and leave them to air dry.
