Gilda Butler
Gilda received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a specialization in pottery from USF. She
established her studio, Gildasleeves, in 2001 and began teaching art pottery classes. An ardent
instructor, several of her students have gone on to juried shows and one has received a pottery
scholarship for college. Her own work shows a strong graphic influence, but she possesses an
eclectic appreciation of all pottery and encourages her students to pursue their personal
preferences.
