Name: John C. Stewart 

I quickly fell in love with throwing pottery after taking my first class in high school. My older brother Josh and I both excelled in pottery during out high school years. Unfortunately we both decided against a career in art due to advice and pressure from our parents.   Three years later as a junior at Temple University (who offers no art classes on main campus),  I realized something was missing from my life.  I made the decision to reunite with clay by enrolling in a wheel thrown class at The Clay Studio in Philadelphia.  It made such a difference in my life to be back working with clay again.  I still can’t believe I went that long without throwing and I hope it never happens again.  It has been an incredible experience to learn with some of the best potters in the country.  I have grown in many ways as both an artist and a person due to my experiences at the Clay Studio in the last year.
