Ashley Barber
Hello and Welcome!
My name is Ms. Barber and I am the Ceramics teacher at CRHS. I first started ceramics here with Mrs. Gates in Crafts and Pottery at CRHS as a junior in High school. I then attended CCC- now RCSJ, Rowan University, and University of Delaware, where I received my MFA in Ceramics. I am also a Professor at RCSJ and have been teaching there for 6 years.
I like to concentrate on all the hand-building techniques of ceramics and intertwine my projects with culture and history.
 
Amy Benfer
I am a teaching artist with 20 years of experience in California and New Jersey. As a mixed-media artist who creates two-dimensional works of collage, drawing, and photography, three-dimensional works of artist books and assemblage pieces, to moving digital images with audio in installation, I continue to create, exhibit and learn for my own artistic practice, which naturally influences art-making opportunities in the classroom.
