About the instructor:

Irene Worthington Baron began a decade of formal art studies at age eight when awarded First Prize by the Zanesville Art Institute in a city contest. She sold her first oil painting by age 12. By age 15 Baron was presenting 30-minute art programs about Traditional African Art on WHIZ-TV for the Zanesville Art Center. Dr. Charles Dietz, former Director of the Zanesville Art Center, stated, “Irene is the first artist in Zanesville history to earn exhibition rights in every category during one major juried exhibition." Having studied ceramics 360+ hours under Henry Paulin PhD, she is proficient in glaze production, 1-3 piece molds, and most clay techniques. She has displayed her creations in numerous juried exhibitions and has been an art exhibition judge. A Classical Drawing teacher, Irene said, “Drawing is something anyone can learn with correct training.”
