Donna Pioli
Program Director, Ceramics
Donna has over fifteen years of experience working in clay and has enjoyed sharing her knowledge with students through art programming at Mother Brook Arts and Community Center, Indigo Fire Studio, The Carroll Center for the Blind, Special Needs Arts Programs (SNAP), and other regional art programs. In the studio, she delights in the level of control and malleability that clay affords…but also in the unexpected, stunning phenomena that can occur in the kiln. Her distinct Claypio designs are well-known throughout the region. Donna is a member of The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and lives in North Chelmsford with her partner and their three pets.
