She has had formal ceramic training through the Tucson Museum of Art and Pima Community College. Throughout the last 18 years Nancy has searched out teachers in many styles and techniques. She has learned hand building methods, Raku, Salt Firing, Wood Firing, Pit Firing, Native American techniques; along with the chemistry of glaze and the history of clay.
