Bio Nancy Kolkebeck loves “playing in the mud”. When she was little it was mud pies. Now it is exploring all the ways you can create with mud/clay. Before starting a family, she apprenticed to a potter. Then life happened and there was a 35-year hiatus for family and career. When she retired, she found “playing in the mud” again. For the past 14 years she has been trying new techniques, exploring glaze possibilities, having fun, and rediscovering her creativity. 1W26-WT-WAM-NK
