Jane McDonald maintains a ceramic studio in Petaluma, Ca. where she also teaches small/semi private classes. Jane uses both the wheel and hand building for her vessels, stressing surface texture and pattern combined with a palette of organically brilliant colors. Each piece is individually fired using the raku process. "The somewhat unpredictable surprises and spontaneity of the raku process is what keeps me intrigued with the final results, and the desire to explore further."

Jane teaches both wheel throwing and hand building, with an emphasis on raku and low-fire. She also teaches part-time at San Francisco State University.

Jane McDonald teaches ceramics at SFSU and at her home studio on I street in Petaluma. You will find her class schedule on the classes page of this website.
