Gerry Kulzer grew up on a farm where his mother made bread from wheat ground in her flour mill and butter from the cream of whole milk. His father, a creative genius in his own right, taught Gerry how to fix nearly anything on the farm.

This upbringing where "making" was of paramount importance helped shape Gerry's creative spirit and desire to design, draw, build, and sculpt.

A sculptor and art teacher with decades of experience, Mr. Kulzer brings his love of making to organizations across the state. His live sculpture performances are fascinating and engaging. Enjoyed by people of all ages, his performances illustrate the importance of working with one's hands, the therapeutic nature of clay, and the love of creation.

A beloved teacher, Kulzer's students have often expressed how he brought a love of art and joy to their school experience.
