About Asher Akens
Asher Akens was a junior in the 2021-2022 Newark High School school year. Ceramics class was one of his most relaxing parts of the day because he always enjoyed making things with his hands! The ceramics seminar class really allowed him to explore more ways to build with clay and express his creativity without having to be concerned with meeting specific criteria. Asher is a student that loves people and enjoys having a good time with his family and those around him. He hopes that through his ceramic work he can bring joy to those who see it and display his best craftsmanship.
