About the instructor:

Jeff Turner is a Texas native and a graduate of Flour Bluff High School, received a bachelor’s degree in geology from Texas A&M University Corpus Christi and a master’s degree in geology from from Baylor University. While filing out his degree plan he discovered that a fine arts course was required to graduate and that’s where Jeff discovered his passion for ceramics. One class turned to several more and into a summer job before graduate school turning out pots for school funds. Life put a hold on ceramics for nearly 30 years and a career change brought him back to experiencing clay again. Jeff mostly produces functional ceramics on the wheel but is constantly exploring ways to push wheel throwing in whimsical and unexpected directions usually reserved for hand building or fusing thrown and hand building techniques. Jeff is a two time winner of Best of Show at the Art Center Ceramics Show and teaches both wheel and hand building classes at the Art Center Corpus Christi.
