Wheel Basics

Centering and Throwing a basic cylinder. This is reiteration of my intro to the wheel demo. Nothing can replace a hands on demo but I hope this helps reaffirm what I talk about in my demo. Get to work!

Pitcher This


This is a short video on the invitational pitcher show called "Pitcher This" at UNCP. My goal was to curate some of the best pitchers from around the country. I received 40 pitchers from potters all the way from California to Maine. There are 7 potters from our state, all of whom are professional potters. The 7 potters from North Carolina show off the great work of people who are making a very good living from pottery. Many other potters in the show also exemplify this while some other participants are professors from around the country and teach at some of the top universities that have a utilitarian focus. The feedback from staff, faculty and especially students was overwhelming and the show was a great success in terms of pedagogy. I mages of some of the artists working on their pieces were displayed around the gallery in conjunction which was also a great source for teaching. I wanted to again thank the artists who participated and the support from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke for making this possible.

Students guide to building an esthetic foundation

This is a short lecture for beginning students in my classes. I hope it helps you understand some of the basics on concept and esthetics and helps you as a springboard for a better understanding of contemporary ceramics.

UNCP Train Kiln


This is a quick short of the Train Kiln at UNCP. Built this summer during a special topics class I offered. Dan Murphy from Utah came to visit during the building and taught part of the class during the casting of the throat arch. The students gain so much from this experience and are now getting fired up even more!
