Michelle has been blowing glass since 2022 after she fell in love with the medium upon taking her first gather. Starting with intro classes and lessons at Liberty Arts in downtown Durham, Michelle has taken multiple classes and concentrations at Penland School of Craft and successfully completed internships at Starworks in Star NC and First City Community Arts Center in Pensacola FL. She is actively practicing, improving, and experimenting with her craft while seeking further education and hands on experience.
