Ceramics

Pottery is a slow process with lots of stages to the creation of each piece. I create in small batches, just producing a few collections per year that I sell at local markets and through my instagram page (@joh.makess).

I work with a variety of clay bodies, including commercial low-fire, wild clay, and commercial stoneware.

I work at three locations: my home studio, a local studio in my area (where I also teach wheel throwing), and the high school I teach at. As for equipment, I’m lucky to have inherited old equipment that I love dearly- each machine has a story that I get to add to!

If you’re interested in purchasing my work, reach out to me via email or through Instagram (info located at the footer of my website).
