Having earned a BA in Art History from Michigan State University and an MA in Art History and Archæology from Cornell University, she realized she much preferred making art to dissecting it. A life-long autodidact, Cheryl first began her ceramics studies with Gene Pluhar through Grosse Pointe Community Education. Taking advantage of Mr. Pluhar’s classroom at Grosse Pointe South High School, she reveled in the pleasures of propane torches, sand b\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elasters and drill presses while investigating the potential of slab rollers, extruders and the wheel. Cheryl’s work is a reflection of her “other” passion: gardening. As an Advanced Master Gardener (certified through Wayne County Extension), her abiding interest in things natural – and indigenous – is reflected in her unique designs. Cheryl’s work has been featured in The Detroit News Homestyle Section and Handmade Business Magazine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyle A - Blue Bird Box:  2.5\" x 2.5\" x 2.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyle B - White Bird Box: 12.5\" x 2.5\" x 2.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pewabic Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Style A - Blue Bird Box","offer_id":46936408129590,"sku":"26433","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style B - White Bird Box","offer_id":46936408162358,"sku":"26434","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/0917\/0235\/files\/SummerMarket-2026-212.jpg?v=1784833815","url":"https:\/\/www.pewabic.org\/products\/black-cat-pottery-bitty-box-collection","provider":"Pewabic Pottery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
