About the Teacher
Mike Hughes received their MFA from The School of American Craftsmen at Rochester Institute of Technology in 1991. Mike has been making pottery since then. After living a lot of different places, Mike settled in Syracuse about 10 years ago. The last 8 years he has been teaching wheel throwing and glazing to a lot of classes in the area. It has been a learning experience to find the best ways to describe the process. Some students have been with him for years and have really developed styles of their own. They love making ceramics.
