Johnnie Skelton has been helping people make pottery at The 567 Center for a few years, whether at Open Studio Night, summer camps, or workshops like Make a Mug and the upcoming Flower Vase Workshop. She actually really enjoys working on the pottery wheel, and is co-teaching Beginning Wheel with Heatherly Wakefield this month.
Johnnie says, "I love teaching at The 567 because of the people. It's a really friendly atmosphere."
You might also see her son and budding ceramicist, Jack, with her around the studio. When she's not teaching at The 567, she's teaching art at K. B. Sutton Elementary School in Forsyth. Her experience teaching in elementary school is probably what makes her so patient with her adult students! We are lucky to have her as an instructor, and we appreciate all the ways she helps in the studio.
