About me

A native of New Mexico, USA, I now reside and work in Taku, Japan. My interest in Karatsu ware started during my first stay in Japan, in the 1990's, while I was pursuing my masters degree. In 2002, I came back to Japan once again, and took up pottery as a casual hobby. In 2003 I had the good fortune to meet a Karatsu potter, Tsuruta Yoshihisa, and this experience took my life in a new direction. Though I have never apprenticed with anyone and continue to study and experiment on my own, Tsuruta san's willingness to share his knowledge and experience has proven invaluable, and taken me in many unexpected directions. For more info on myself or my work, please see my website and online shop, or email if you have any other questions. If you are ever in the area, visitors are always welcome in the studio.
