Instructor
After a long career in medicine, Martha Lacy traded her stethoscope for a pottery wheel and never looked back. What began as a hobby shared with her daughter twenty years ago quickly grew into a lifelong passion. Today, she runs her own pottery studio, creating pieces inspired by the stunning natural beauty of the San Juan Mountains that surround her. Martha loves sharing the joy of clay with others—teaching not only the techniques of pottery, but also the creativity, playfulness, and sense of wonder that first drew her in.
