Regan Carney is a studio potter and sculptor who produces functional fine art in clay in her studio in the Bay Artists’ Co-op at 415 S. Necaise Avenue. She received a BFA in 1980 from Tulane University and has made and shown clay art in Santa Fe, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Biloxi, Ocean Springs and Bay St. Louis.
 
Her work is widely featured, including locally in Gallery 220. Carney teaches beginner through master level classes at the co-op.
 
“I am happy to teach any level in general or specific techniques. I teach both throwing on the wheel or handbuilding functional ware or sculptural forms. Usually throwing takes the most amount of time,” she said.
 
For a "date night", or family outing, or a two-week intensive tune up, Carney's workshops are tailored to the individuals who wish to share the experience of making recognizable objects from a lump of clay. A few weeks lead time is recommend. For more information or to sign up for classes please email [email protected] or call 228-216-0210.
