Michael Connelly

15 November 2006 - Michael is the new head of the ceramic studio facilities at Montgomery County Community College.
At this meeting of the Ceramics Club, he showed slides to provide some perspective on things that influence his designs.
Following this, he demonstrated numerous techniques for throwing, altering, and trimming pots. It was immediately evident
that he is a highly skilled potter.
