Hi, I’m Steph. I’ve been an artist and maker my whole life, and specialize in ceramics, painting, pattern drafting, and leather working. I studied oil painting/multi-media art (so basically I got to glue rope to walls for 6 hours a day!) and currently work as a graphic designer. I recently moved to CO from Boston, and am excited to spend more time outside and hike all the good trails. When I’m not at CCM, you can find me in the ceramics studio or in the garden with the cats.
