The Future of Pots

Get More Creative

As a potter, almost everything I do has intent behind it: the clays I choose, the type of wheel and tools I prefer, the way I throw, the glazes and kilns that go into the making of each piece.

All these factors go together to make up my working philosophy -- my approach to the craft & art of clay. Implied in all this is the idea that making pots is an intentional, conceptual activity, as well as a physical one.

St. Earth is as much a set of beliefs about how and why to make pots 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.
