Clay Dog Pots, Claydog Pots, Clay Dogpots, How ever you say it…

We love clay, we love to make pots, and we love dogs…

Background

My first introduction to clay was in school in Florida back in the 70’s. We started with pinch pots, working up to more pinch pots. Later I got a chance to do some work on a Potters Wheel.

I left Florida after High School and relocated to California. In 2003 I joined a community art center in Irvine CA. I jumped in immersing myself in ceramics full time. Getting back to basics was challenging and refreshing and invigorating.

After a couple of years, I was able to start working shows & showing ware at several County Fair’s and Community Craft Sales in California.

After returning to Florida in 2005 and settling in I secured a spot at St. Pete Clay Co., and later took a studio space there. In 2008 we relocated the studio to a property we owned in Lutz and worked local holiday shows around the Tampa area till my studio burned down in 2013.

After losing the studio I just puttered around here and there. In 2017 I started working to building a new studio, completed the end of 2022.

Starting fresh in January 2023, working to develop and refine my glazes, get inventory build and get the Web site up so I can let others enjoy what I love to create…
