Meet the instructor:
Hank D. Herring was born in Rose Hill, North Carolina in 1956. He learned about art at an early age from artistic family members who inspired him to pursue his artistic development. During middle and high School, Hank won numerous awards and science fair exhibits using wood and metal as his medium. Upon graduating from high school, Hank enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where he worked as a machinist. His job allowed him to work with many mediums such as metals, plastics, and glass and composite materials; which are seen in many of Hank's art pieces. Today, he is the owner of Salt Gallery, a mixed-media art gallery, in downtown Beaufort.
