Wood and soda fired tea-ware
Like many who love pottery, I became infatuation with the idea of creating sculpture that could be interacted with, held, used and loved. Handmade pottery is not only beautiful, but imbues preciousness into every moment it is used. In a highly manufactured world, wheel throwing is an ancient technique that is still in practice because of it's ability to create functionally practical vessels while still retaining an element of human touch.
My focus is on teaware, specifically around gongfu cha. This is a study in mindfulness and meditation instead of a caffeine channel like traditional mugs. I also make Japanese teaware for matcha and green tea.
I have discovered over the years that group classes hinder teaching. They are good for specific workshops but if you truly want to improve yourself in this field a 1 on 1 is the best option. I offer two different types of in person classes, the first is a private 1 on 1 where the focus is on you. The second is an “open studio” styled lesson where i work alongside you but if you need help or have a question i am there to assist. The open studio sessions are for someone who knows how to throw already and is looking for critiques here and there while they are working. Private class: 75/hr Clay is included to an extent Firing fees are separate. We work within your schedule and find the amount of time/day each week you would like to work. Open studio session:50/hr Clay is 1 dollar a pound. Firing fees are separate We work within your schedule and find the amount of time/day each week you would like to work.
