Totally Ceramic is the result of Joanette's innate sense of creativity-whether designing Halloween costumes or designer vases imaginative & creative. Joanette been involved in ceramics since 1972. She started as a hobbyist, then under the tutorage of Master Teacher Norma Matthews, she began teaching. Her own education expanded into the art of slip casting, proper firing techniques & on to lace draping and porcelain reproduction dolls. Joanette has several certificates & attended many seminars.
