Handmade pottery and pottery classes by mud enthusiast Barb Crosbie, a passionate creator of handcrafted ceramics. As a dual degree water quality science major, I have developed a serious love for clay. My journey has taken me from Utah to New York, back to Utah, then to Alabama, and now I’m back in Utah where the clay truly stuck with me. Throughout this path, I have worked, studied, and taught pottery classes, embodying the role of both a potter and one of the dedicated pottery teachers. I divide my time to explore new ideas systematically—perhaps it's the scientist in me.
