I'm looking forward to meeting each of you in the studio. Let me introduce myself.
I'm Michelle Gregor and I have been teaching courses in the Art Department at San José City College for 25 years, including Art Appreciation, Color Theory, Ceramics, Sculpture, and Design Fundamentals. I am also a professional artist actively exhibiting my own work at galleries nationwide. Before my career in teaching I founded and ran my own functional pottery business with international clients. I have been awarded architectural commissions including the Olympic Club facade in San Francisco and spa interior at Pebble Beach. Art is my passion, and in my free time there is nowhere I'd rather be than in my studio or at the museum. I love teaching at SJCC and I celebrate the unique creativity in each individual.
This is a hybrid class that meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:15-2:05 in A120. The class is designed to take about 6-8 hours per week including the in person instruction and lab on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Prepare to log in to Canvas LMS a couple of times per week to post in discussions, complete reading and required videos and to complete homework.
