My passion for ceramic art bloomed when my wife Deborah, also a ceramic artist (and I was NOT an artist at that time), asked me to buy her a kiln. It was during that exploration that I recognized the wonderful culmination of chemistry, physics, design, engineering, and tactile skills that is Ceramic Art.
My formal training came from attending ceramics courses for several years at Chastain Art Center, Spruill Center for the Arts and Abernathy Art Center, all in Atlanta Ga; Still, much of my skill was refined through self-development in my wife Deborah’s studio. On the second day of my first ceramic arts course, my instructor told me “Don’t even try to make a teapot; they’re too complicated for you right now”. I immediately went home and made four, and sold two. Over the years I’ve been a constant student, experimenting and learning new technique and form, folding in life experience into each new series.
