Mr. Ryan Fotta

I have had the pleasure of teaching at Joyner for over ten years now.  I enjoy guiding my students' creativity in my room and giving them the freedom to develop into the artist they want to be. I enjoy working with clay most of all since I concentrated in ceramics at East Carolina University.
