"The art and design department at Ohio Northern University had the facilities and equipment that allowed me to explore new techniques, achieve successes, learn from failures and catch a glimpse of what is possible. The faculty at Northern provided much more than just a technical education on how to create artwork; they were a springboard for self-discovery and direction, both as an artist and as a person. My business, Long Pond Pottery, is in its first official year and I owe a big "Thank You" to the Northern faculty, both current and retired, who have continued to support and encourage me during these last few years of getting started."
