David
Gould 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. He also studied at UNC-CH for two years in the
masters program of The Department of Speech Communication, where he taught
Public Speaking. 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’s 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, The Carrboro ArtsCenter, and The Woods Charter School. 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 twenty 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, Elementary NC Face Jug
Workshops with Janet Oldham at McDougle Elementary, and Suzanne Gould at
Hillsborough Elementary, and at Kidzu, sponsored by The Chapel Hill Arts
Commission. David also does NC Face Jug Workshops at his own studio, Good
Earth Pottery & Garden.
Suzanne Gould also teaches some classes, occasionally. 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. When
necessary we do have other substitute teachers fill in who have been trained at
the studio for several years.
Space is limited, so call today to reserve your bag of clay
and seat in class. Your place in class is secure only if you have
paid. Please pay by check two weeks advance of your
class. Current class members receive first choice for the classes if
they pay two weeks in advance of the next session.
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. Unlike most other studios, our Open Studio time is instructional and you are supported and can improve your skills. Pottery class size is usually 6-7 students. This 6-7-person class size provides for a nice group dynamic while retaining individual attention. 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 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
