Meet the Instructor

Lindsay Wood  (she/her) began playing with clay back in 2015 when she took her first ceramics class at the Visual Arts Center in Richmond, and has been hooked ever since! Using handbuilding techniques, she creates both functional and sculptural forms. Some of her wares are carved with imagery reflective of her inspirations, joys, memories and nature. Lindsay has taught classes through local nonprofits Art 180 and Art on Wheels, and has been a part of the Hand / Thrown team since summer of 2019. She believes that art has healing powers, and can touch people’s lives by reducing stress, boosting self-esteem, and encouraging self-expression.

Rice Evans is a multi-medium artist primarily working in clay and video. Originally from the Midwest, Evans received her BFA from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 2016 and her MFA in Ceramics from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2021. She is adjunct faculty in the Clay Area of the Craft/Material Studies department at Virginia Commonwealth University. To quote Evans about her work: “My art practice meanders through concepts, techniques, and mediums to arrive at a messy, confusing, and overwhelming shared experience of digital life. It is here where we find humor, creativity, and most importantly our own contemporary folk culture.”
