It has always been my goal to work for myself. I wanted to
do something that would benefit my fellow man now and after
I am gone.
I was born in Box Elder County Utah. The largest part of
my childhood was spent on a Cattle ranch in Grouse Creek
Utah. I attended school at Bear River High and went on to
finish my education at Weber State College. I had every
intention of becoming an educator. I did teach for two
years but found my true love was with the clay.
In 1969 I began throwing pottery full time. It has been a
long road with a lot of pot holes and detours but with my
families support and help I have been able to realize a
dream.
While throwing pottery, I try hard to follow my belief that
FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION. I enjoy making a product that is
appealing to the eye and functional.
Pottery history has always fascinated me. Pottery in the
early years was designed primarily for use. Replicating
historically correct pottery is a very satisfying
occupation. We have taken the look of the past and
incorporated it with modern technology to make the most
durable product available. Microwaveable, dishwasher safe,
oven safe, lead free. It is very functional hard fired
stoneware.
When I was a child I got in trouble for playing in the mud,
now I get paid for it.
