Melissa Desrochers
Ceramics & Pottery Teacher

She took first Pottery class in 2004 and she never looked back. From creating wheel- thrown functional pieces to hand building, there are limitless possibilities in clay for creating shapes that can be functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Kirsten Jussaume
Drawing, Painting and Sculpting Teacher

I studied as a Fine Arts major with a focus on drawing, painting, and sculpture. In my classroom, I encourage students to explore their individual styles, experiment with different materials, and build strong foundational skills in the visual arts.
