Todd Hickerson
Todd has been teaching classes and workshops at classes since June 2007, when he graduated from OSU with a BFA in ceramics.
"The inspiration that influences my work is comprised of three main concepts or ideals: my passion for and fascination with the Polynesian culture, the experiences I gained during the 18 months I spent in Afghanistan and the Middle East serving the U.S. Army in the "War on Terror" and the knowledge I obtained during my four month scholastic study in China. Traveling around the globe has fully impacted my life, my art, the way I think and how I view the world."
Todd teaches beginning and intermediate potter's wheel and a slab building class and is available for private lessons and workshop instruction upon request.
