In 2 weeks I will be teaching a virtual workshop with @companiongallery This workshop will cover the process I use to make a locking jar. I will be demonstrating the simple throwing and handbuilding techniques I use to construct complex forms. We will also go over how terra sigillata and underglaze make kinetic pottery possible. Follow the link in my bio for more info on the workshop. It should be a lot of fun! I hope you can join us! https://www.instagram.com/p/Co2z3ZYut8u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m just getting back home from almost 3 weeks of teaching and traveling in Southern California. It was an amazing trip! Thank you to everyone who came to a workshop or demonstration, I had a blast and hope you all did also. I started with a 2 day hands-on workshop in Pasadena with @gbclayhousepasadena we had a good group of students from a variety of backgrounds and it was very exciting to see a beautiful studio operating in such a large and efficient way. Next I spent a day with the students at @csuciartdepartment . CSUCI had a great group of students that seem close enough to be family and they had my new favorite bathroom. Then I spent 2 days in Ventura with @venturacollegeceramics and @jenchiwu . Jenchi’s students were very excited about clay and they had a lot of good questions. Finally I spent 2 days in San Diego with @clayartistsofsandiego and @clayfolder they were an awesome group of clay artists that were really interested in all things clay. The conversations and had with @clayfolder and the rest of the group really got me excited to get back to work in the studio. The space provided by @joshhermanceramics was perfect for demos and it was great to see his work also. Then I spent a week vacationing with @almcgahey and @ryanoetting in San Diego, Palm Springs, and Joshua Tree. Photo captions: 1. Blind handle confidence just after attaching 2.

I found a box of old pots last week. Most of the pots from 6 or 7 years ago sucked but the feet of these 2 mugs were pretty exciting. The bottom 2 images are some recent experiments trying to go back and take some from those old pots. https://www.instagram.com/p/CiJgbNzDrAI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Strikers and stash jars. Light a match and burn whatever you burn. Incense and stuff you know… https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch--ehLri-k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I can’t wait to get this mug fired so I can see how uncomfortable it is with coffee in it! https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch3dTnsjNdq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s been close to 10 years since I’ve thrown any actual large pots. In college I made a bunch of multi part large pots but since then I haven’t touched anything larger than 4 pounds or so. It’s been fun getting back into some big ish jars and pots. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf5TkkmDnaU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
