Jean CalicuraJean Calicura
Jean started taking ceramic classes here at the studio in 1983 with Andrée Thompson. She had high aspirations of producing a twelve-piece dinner set in that class and admits that it didn’t take her long to arrive at the conclusion she might not finish the set in the ten weeks.

No workshop

Come by the studio on Wednesday afternoons, and you’ll meet monitor Michele Ostrie. Michele, a sculptor, has been a member of the Clay Arts Guild for 22 years, since she and her husband Barry moved to Alamo from Long Island in 1984.

Joe was born in nearby Crockett, attended local schools, and still lives in Crockett today. His friends call him “Pino.” If you show up at the ceramics studio on a late Friday afternoon, you’ll probably be greeted with an enthusiastic “How ya doin!” from monitor Joe Pagni.

Gisela had done ceramics as a young person in Germany, and rekindled those skills as her children grew and she had time from the housewife role. She remembers the old building, where they would pit-fire alongside the building.
