Ceramicist

Sonja studied Art Education in Stuttgart, Germany. She has an MFA in New Genres Art from the San Francisco Art Institute and has participated in group/solo exhibitions and artists residencies worldwide. Sonja creates immersive installations and conducts participatory art events with communities all over the US and Europe. In her large-scale project "Snow Drawings" she merges collaborative art making with sublime nature experience. A core interest are environmental concerns and human relationships with nature. A project about wild growing plants as a food source led to the need for custom ceramic ware. Sonja began taking ceramics classes at Oakland Community College in 2014. She has since taken many classes and workshops to hone her skills in throwing, hand building. glazing and various firing techniques. She spent the fall of 2024 semester at the University of Nebraska to study

with acclaimed ceramicists Pete Pinnell and Margaret Bohls. Sonja has been teaching for several years. In 2021/22 she ran the Ceramics Program at the Randall Museum in San Francisco. She has also taught ceramics at community studios in Oakland and for the City of Oakland at Studio One Art Center.

Nina Flores

Ceramic Studio Apprentice

Nina is a creative inquirer and explorer of handcrafts, intrigued by all mediums. Clay, to her, is a practice of self-healing and Life-inquiry — reconnection to ancestral wells through relationship of Earth and Body.

She enjoys clay-work as an investigation with the elements; as therapeutic and spiritual outlet, to reunite and exercise the intelligence of the Bodies-beyond-mental-intellect.

She is grateful to come time and again, to sit with Grandmother Earth.
