She works with earthenware, stoneware and porcelain and specialises in brush work, airbrushing, glass fusing, sagging, and/or painting, as well as building flowers, fruit, baskets, clay sculpting, lace draping and working with Spanish oils. Arlene is certified by Duncan, Hanovia, Seeley’s, Satellite/Unique Glass Paints, and is an ICA Teacher and Judge.

She is also a past President of Southern Stars Chapter of IADCCT, and held two positions on the International Board of IADCCT including Convention Director and Secretary. "I am fortunate to be an Ambassador for Duncan and traveling teacher. Teaching is my true love and it allows me to share my passion, knowledge and experience in the ceramic arena. Through my many years of teaching, I have found sharing my knowledge the most rewarding. The greatest moment is to see the expression of amazement, pride and accomplishment on a student’s face when they see their finished pieces. I have two objectives when I teach. One is to ensure the student is learning and the second is to make sure they have fun while learning. Besides teaching in the United States, I had the privilege to teach in England. I have also been a guest speaker at several Ceramic Conventions. I feel very fortunate to be able to touch so many people’s lives. Hopefully I have shared my enthusiasm and love, not only for teaching, but the industry as well. "GOD created us all equal, what makes the difference is Education."
