Ann Margaret Russ has been making pottery for twenty years and brings a deep appreciation for the creative and therapeutic power of working with clay. A former resident artist at Baltimore Clayworks, where she exhibited and taught both handbuilding and wheel classes, she now volunteers with Arts for All in Loudoun County and the Loudoun Medical Reserve Corps. With a background in art and special education, Ann Margaret values pottery not just as a craft, but as a form of self-expression, mindfulness, and connection—where the process itself can be as rewarding as the finished piece.
