I’m passionate about helping others discover their creativity or hone their clay skills. I teach with an emphasis on building community and creative confidence. I meet each student where they’re at and provide individualized instruction.
You can sign up for my Beginner and Intermediate wheel throwing classes at Austin Clay Arts. We have a lot of fun together bonding over our wins and losses! 😅
Student Testimonials
Ali is a fantastic teacher. She meets every student where they are, and is able to effortlessly translate complicated techniques and ideas. Ali is a technical master (it was fun just watching the class demonstrations), but is infinitely humble, which allows the most novice pottery student to feel welcome and a part of this potentially intimidating world. Ali’s expertise and enthusiasm are infectious. I was hoping to take a pottery class just as something to do after work, but I left with real knowledge and an itch to keep learning and making with clay. I cannot wait until the next pottery class I have the opportunity to take, and preferably it will be with Ali.
