Cindy Laliwala, Studio owner, ceramics and art instructor
My love for art began at a very early age, and I pursued it by attending Parson’s School of Design in NYC. I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts
I’ve worked at the Art Directors Club as gallery help, Oxford University Press designing children’s books, then moved onto designing maps with a creative twist and then onto package design for Bristol Myers Squibb and Unliver.
I currently live In Pennington with my husband and 3 children. I’ve taught art enrichment at the local HVRSD elementary schools. I work with adults with disabilities and teach art and ceramics at the studio.
I have dedicated the last 20 years teaching art to both adults and children.
Laney Campana, Ceramics and art instructor
Having always been drawn to art she naturally decided to pursue a deeper understanding by receiving her BFA from Tyler School of Art at Temple University. From her education experiences she explored multiple mediums, including painting, fibers, woodworking, etc. When it ncame down to it, ceramics piqued Laney’s interest most and made her feel completely at home. Through learning various pathways of forming clay from on the pottery wheel to the seemingly endless hand building techniques, to understanding how glazes work and how to smack them all over her work, she then found ways to take her ideas and turn them into a tangible reality, made of Earth! To say it’s cool is truly an understatement. One of Laney’s favorite aspects of pottery is that creating with clay is not only a tactile/therapeutic experience but also something that brings about a sense of pride and connectedness.
Christina Johnson, Ceramics instructor
Christina Johnson received her BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah Georgia. She has always been a visual artist, at a young age she learned how to work with fiber arts, explored photography, painting and just about any art form she could try. For nearly 20 years she worked as a professional graphic designer in advertising and marketing but stepped away from the corporate world. Looking for a new avenue to flex her creative mind she came into ceramics and fell immediately in love. Christina thrives on exploring and pushing the boundaries of her skills with clay and the wheel, always excited to learn. She also has a keen interest and likes to explore different finishing techniques including using underglaze transfers, carving, manipulating of thrown material and closed forms.
Marla Levy, Ceramics Instructor
BFA from University of the Arts.
When I was a small child, an amazing camp counselor put some clay in my hands at a very young age.
She gifted me with a lifelong clay-obsession that I like to pass onto everyone I now teach.
Clay is a tactile art form that instantly activates the creative side of the brain. It can be both therapeutic and inspirational.
I’ve been lucky enough to teach this magic to people of all ages for over 25 years. 1000’s of pounds of clay have traveled through my hands to 1000’s of campers from Willow Grove Day Camp & Briarwood Day Camp. Adults and teenagers students at Tyler Park Center for the Arts, and elderly seniors in Doylestown at Pine Run Retirement community.
