I will use this blog to track my progress in making the pots to be sold by the St. Patrick's Festival Committee in Dublin, Georgia. Each pot will be thrown 4.5 inches high, 2.75 inches wide at the rim and the belly and 2" wide at the neck and the base. Each pot will be green with a the St. Patrick's Festival Committe's logo stamped on it and each piece will be serialized and contain my mark on the bottom.

I am a computer programmer and have been in the computer industry for just over 30 years. Before the fall of 1997 I had no prior art experience at all. That fall I started taking weekly classes at the Rec Dept in Kennesaw Ga taught by Patty Caldwell. I took classes for just over three years. I bought my own wheel after one year and a year later I bought an electric kiln and worked out of my basement studio and mixed my own glazes. In addition I’ve attended numerous raku workshops taught by Rick Berman, Carol Brull and Jerry Machinot. I’ve also attended a 10 day workshop by Dolly Noranjo at her studio just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico on Native American hand building and firing and am strongly influenced by Native American pottery. I have also attended 3 anigama workshops at the Hambidge House in Rayburn Gap, Ga. I do cone 6 electric kiln firing, raku, horsehair and some pit firing. In August of 2003 my wife and I moved from Atlanta metro area to South Georgia. I had a studio built and produce all my pottery there. My work can be purchased at Burton's Gallery and Emporium just out of Clarkesville Georgia and at the Georgia Heritage Center for the Arts in Tallulah Falls Georgia.
