Ever since Steve Girard was knee-high to a frog, he can remember creating things. This Colorado native built his first house (for a frog) when he was 7. Woodworking and custom furniture were his outlet during his teen years. Entrepreneurship, custom homes, and real estate development soon followed. Lifelong admirer and collector of art, he co-founded an art studio space designed to help other artists take their work and creativity to higher places. Half a decade ago, after losing or misplacing most of his power tools, he decided to take a ceramics class. Having been taught by some of the best in the business, Steve is forever grateful to those at the Arts Student League of Denver for their support, direction, entertainment, and infinite inspiration. Steve suggests if you do not know how this medium has changed the world and advanced civilization, you should look it up.
