At VanGo Pottery, our belief is that expression through art is not only a wonderful outlet for creativity, but is also a great way to keep the mind engaged and stimulated, no matter what your age. As a result, we created a program that brings the fun of pottery painting and clay building to senior centers and retirement communities throughout the valley. Here is just a small sampling of what some of our clients have said about our program:
As a Dementia/Alzheimers community we offer a variety of activities that can stimulate our residents’ abilities. VanGo Pottery, with Sheri has been a true blessing to Huger Mercy Living Center. So many of our residents who say they cannot paint or do crafts come alive when they look at their projects. The families are also impressed with their loved one's projects. They are amazed at the retained or newly created abilities through the VanGo Pottery program! We love Sheri and her wonderful daughters for making sure that they always put our residents’ needs at the top of their list with easy instructions, calm attitudes, patience, and a loving and gracious spirit of giving. Thanks, Sheri for placing smiles on our residents faces every time you come!

For the past two years, Sheri Geiss of VanGo Pottery, has been facilitating a "Pots, Paint & Clay" workshop twice a month at the JFCS Center for Senior Enrichment in Phoenix. She has a caring and wonderful way of relating to the participants and encourages them in their creativity and self-expression. Sheri provides unfinished pottery pieces or clay, and all other materials and firing necessary to create a beautiful finished product that each person can be proud of. The smiles on the faces of the workshop participants tell it all!
