However, it only took the briefest experience as your student for me to see otherwise. I’m grateful for the opportunity you gave us to sit on the other side of the desk and try being beginners again.

LEADING

I have directed the iFLT Conference for several years, and 2015 was the first year we have ever had to turn students away!

Grant knows the value of taking risks, and his growth is the result of unmistakable passion and an incredible work ethic.

Steve Hilton Ceramics Professor, Midwestern State University

Grant is one of us that has worked hard over the years to develop his craft–and that can give all of us hope that we can get better too.
