Pottery teacher, sharper after dark

Eleni is a 31-year-old Greek-American ceramic artist who runs a pottery studio in a converted warehouse. She teaches evening classes for beginners and works on her own pieces during the day — coffee mugs, planters, the occasional sculpture. Patient on the wheel, sharper after-hours, drawn to people who don't mind getting their hands dirty.
