Instagram. @clayworksstudiodumfries JENNY FINCH Born in 1962 in Essex, always knowing I wanted to lead an artistic life. I followed my wonderful art foundation course at Colchester with a degree in ceramics at Birmingham Poly. I founded Dalton Pottery in 1989 with my late husband Geoff and we enjoyed over 25 happy years working together and raising two brilliant sons. They say that the only thing you can be sure of in life, is that it will keep changing. Some of those changes are very hard, and I have found the one thing that always gets me through those challenges is my creativity and the creative community. Chris and Lauren have built such a wonderful resource at Clayworks and I am proud to be part of the team. One of the most rewarding things about spending a lifetime understanding the medium of clay, is passing on those skills to those who are just discovering how meditative and rewarding it is to work with. Whether painting, potting, sculpting, writing, or teaching I hope to never stop pushing the boundaries and challenging myself to be the best I can. 120777122_2839475512940495_7861241450601659473_n.jpg CHRIS TAYLOR After graduating from the University of the West of England in 1999 Chris became an apprentice at Dartington Pottery, Totnes.

Our era is characterized by increasing globalization. Every day, technological advances that allow for the instant transmission of information change the way we communicate, the way we work, the way we learn and the way we live our lives. At the same time, international trade and tourism and worldwide media communication are expanding. Individuals, corporations, markets, and nation-states can reach around the world faster and more cheaply than ever before. Traditional boundaries between culture, commerce, technology, politics, and the environment are rapidly disappearing. National borders are no longer barriers to learning, living, and working. People may speak different languages, eat different foods, and worship in different ways, but we do not do so in isolation. The world today is a global village and we are all members of the same community. We know that advanced education is the key to making the most of its challenges and opportunities . We also know that a well-chosen course of academic study and a degree from a prestigious university are prerequisites for a successful career in this highly competitive environment. For this reason, at UNYP we pride ourselves on our academic collaboration with well-known international universities. We want to expand your global horizons Our aim is to provide you with the knowledge, experience, and multicultural perspective that will allow you to explore, learn, question, create, and thrive as productive members of a global society in your chosen careers.
