See’s passion and self-taught approach has driven much of his professional career. “Nobody can really handle what I want to do and the energy I have towards it so I end up doing the research and stuff myself.” Faced with an uncompromising sculpture professor in college, who denied See’s request to work on the pottery wheel, See would sneak into the classroom and learn the wheel on his own.“Middle of the night - I would leave the door or a window open and I’d go in and I’d throw,” said See.
In addition to his personal work and exploration of the different media, See now teaches wheel throwing courses at Clayscapes, a gallery and studio space in upstate New York. “As much as you are teaching, you are also learning and having to think about things in different ways,” said See. He teaches five classes a week to students ranging in age from 12 to 80 years. See also extends his guidance to students everywhere through well executed YouTube videos. “It really has made my work more accessible to more people, and actually made myself more accessible.”
