The Community Clay! Team
Chris Targoni
Community Clay! Director
I grew up on the coast of California in a very creative family. As a child, I was given many opportunities to make art, some of which involved clay. In high school and college, I took ceramics classes and I loved working on the wheel.
My wife and I moved to DC in 2015 for a teaching certification program. I have been teaching elementary art since the 2016-2017 school year and am currently an art teacher with DC Public Schools. With this work I have been able to give many students some of their first experiences with clay. Through Community Clay, I hope to help more of DC’s young residents get access to pottery through community, school and family partnerships.
