Create | Three Ceramicists | TEDxLagunaBlancaSchool

Who would have thought that the TEDx stage could be a space for throwing clay? In their performance, Holly Ballenger, Melissa Alkire, and Kevin Shertzer--three talented teacher-ceramicists--demonstrate their craft while sharing personal stories and inspirational thoughts on the value and power of creation. Melissa Alkire, Holly Ballenger, and Kevin Shertzer are ceramicists at Laguna Blanca School.

An Atlanta native chasing her warm, coastal dream in Santa Barbara, Holly loves admiring beautiful designs and creations, through the natural world or in her middle and high school students' artwork.

Kevin Shertzer grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and obtained a B.A. in History from Yale University and M.Ed. from UCSB. He has taught in Laguna Blanca's Social Sciences department since 2002.

Melissa Alkier is and east coast potter transplanted to Santa Barbara. Her day job might be work in schools but in the space between she can be found throwing clay into functional pottery. She loves making mugs the most and runs a little studio called Foster & Feed. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
