 | About P A J Creations: "P A J" stands for Pottery, Artwork, & Jewelry that I create all by hand. On a sentimental note, it's also the first initials of myself (Amanda), my mom (Peggy), and my sister (Jennifer) who inspired me to do this. Those three letters create the "P A J" symbol as part of my logo. The history of this symbol started in June of 2005 when I made a gift for my mom's birthday. I thought it would be amusing to have a personalized logo attached to her gift. So I used all three of our names and came up with "P A J" symbol. Little did I know I was actually creating a logo that motivated me to produce and sell my own artwork. |
Artist’s Statement
“Creativity gives me a sense of being and of who I am. It is my life goal to share this sense and awareness to others. Life is creative and you should embrace it everyday!”
I studied and received art training at the University of Toledo, OH, where I received my Bachelor's degree in Art Education. I concentrated on ceramics and photography. I've taught various age levels in art and ceramics, ranging from ages 4-80! I have taught various art classes at Findlay High School and adult pottery classes through Millstream Adult Education. I also teach private pottery lessons from home and art classes through the Findlay Art League. My clay provider has always been through Columbus Clay. They are always so quick and thorough, as well as generous with their knowledge and experience.
