David Gould is the lead teacher at Good Earth Pottery and Garden. He loves making pottery and teaching pottery. David is a 1988 graduate of Northwestern University with a B.S.S. in Speech and an area of concentration in Art. David is the co-owner/director of Good Earth & Pottery in Chapel Hill, NC with his wife Suzanne Gould. He enjoyed making pottery as a child, collecting "Indian Clay" from down the creek behind his parent's house in Cincinnati, Ohio. These days he is experimenting with local orange clay found under your feet from Orange County, NC. His official time started with a classical apprenticeship in Sweden in 1979. After that beginning time, David also worked in Norway, Crete, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Seagroves, and finally Calvander, NC. David has been making pottery/ceramics for 30 years now, and teaching for over 20 years. David taught a variety of adult classes for Northwestern, Duke, UNC-CH, and The Carrboro ArtsCenter. He also enjoyed teaching children's ESL classes in Sweden and Crete. David taught second graders as Helen Maxwell's assistant for two years at Carrboro Elementary and fourth graders as Meg Millard's assistant at Frank Porter Graham. For the last ten years, David has enjoyed teaching over 1,000 children and hundreds of adults through classes at the ArtsCenter, CHCCS Middle School Face Jug Workshops with Hollie Novak & Missy Valentine, and at his own studio – Good Earth Pottery & Garden. Recently he worked for The Chapel Hill Arts Commission of “Visionary Self-Portrait NC Face Jugs at McDougle Elementary. http://www.chapelhillarts.org/programs_residence_curr.php

Suzanne Gould also teaches some classes and does substitute teaching. Suzanne is a public art teacher with twenty-five years of experience. She is a National Board Certified Teacher, has been Teacher of the Year at Phillips Middle School, and was the Lead Art Teacher for the Chapel Hill/Carrboro City Schools. Debbie Englund is another of our wonderful teachers. She has been taking care of children also for twenty five years in a variety of ways, and has her own website www.debbieenglund.com where you can see more about Debbie Englund’s art and creative gifts.

Tuition is due at least two weeks before the next session. We have a waiting list for many classes, and your place will not be held if tuition is not paid. Full refund for cancellation by either party is possible one week in advance of first class. Make-ups are scheduled only during current term. Mid-term enrollments are occasionally possible. Tuition includes Open Studio, which is on most Sundays from 2-5 for currently enrolled adults. Pottery class size is usually 6-7 students, the minimum is 4. This 6-7-person class size provides for a nice group dynamic while retaining individual attention. Many groups of friends and families have organized their own classes. You provide the individual initiative and projects, while David provides technical and thoughtful support. Relaxing clay time offers you a chance to unwind and have fun. “I look forward to helping you realize your unique, delightful goals. I hope you understand ceramics is an organic science, and there is great variability in the process. Some pieces may crack, and sometimes the glazes have unexpected results, but I hope you will enjoy the overall experience. I try to be thoroughly kind and supportive to each individual in the studio, and expect the same from all the students. Students who repeatedly engage in teasing, an overly critical attitude, or are otherwise non-respectful of myself or other students or their work will be asked to be more respectful or be asked to discontinue classes. Good Earth Pottery & Garden is a place for peace, kindness, and mutual support. Thank you!" - David Gould
