This Week @ St. Earth

The Future of Pots

Rare Earth

  As a potter, almost everything I do has intent behind it: the clays I use, the type of wheel and tools I prefer, how I throw, decorate and glaze, and the kilns that finish each pot.

All these factors combine to make up a working philosophy -- my approach to making functional pots. By writing about what I do, I hope to show that making pots is a conceptual activity, as well as a physical one.

St. Earth is as much a set of beliefs about how and why I work as it is a business entity -- the name reminds me to work through all the steps of the process with a consistent intent and motivation.
