Sam Clark from Mississippi.
Sam is a storyteller and ceramic artist from Madison, Mississippi. He is passionate about helping other artists to learn more about glazing, different clay mediums, and various techniques to use when building clay sculptures. Promoting art, educating people who enjoy art, and supporting artists is his passion. In his words: "As children, we see worlds of wonder around every turn, but as we grow older those encounters with joy and playfulness become more difficult to find. Still, the human soul longs for these sacred places. My goal, with the creations I make out of simple clay, is to help open a road back to these places where the heart may be rejuvenated."
