Karen has her BS from Penn State University and her MBA from Loyola College, MD. She is the President of the Board of Directors for the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen headquartered in Lancaster, PA. Karen was drawn to ceramics because of its natural complement to cooking, gardening, and entertaining – all of which she loves. She predominantly throws (or hand-builds) functional stoneware. She is a “lifelong learner” and has been a potter for over 22 years working from her home studio in Lititz, PA. Karen’s structured clay education consists of years of workshops, regular classes, and hands-on training by a number of professional potters. In recent years she has also developed a love for stained glass and is also working regularly in that medium.
