Wood fired potter, sustainability inclined, kiln builder, house builder, works with hands, and words.
This is a sculpture that I made in 2013 that, due to my lack of experience with large scale outdoor sculpture, had to be re built from the inside out. Much better now as good as when it was first completed

I am very excited that Mariko Okubo is coming from Kyoto, Japan to make a new body of work for soda firing at my studio in NW Arkansas. The first International Residency at Mulberry Creek Pottery, starting March 9 - April 20. #ozarkwabi #greentime-ceramics #huntermaypottery #mulberrycreekpottery

Sustainable clay mixing. For the past 10 years this is how I make my clay. I got rid of my large pug mill and started mixing up my clay in plastic garbage cans and then put the slurry into used blue jeans. I operate my studio with solar generated electricity-very low carbon footprint-visually fun

Most people might not know that in his last few years Micheal Simon had a few of his most recognizable forms cast in bronze. Bronze Persian jars form in foreground. Ceramic platter in background. Jan. 2018, Athens, Ga. One of the last one on one visits I had with Michael. #ozarkwabimoment

"We're Toast" This is a piece I made about 12 years ago about climate change, but seems just as appropriate for our current political situation. Wood fired stoneware and fake toast.

Visited Diego Rivera’s Museo Anahuacalli last week in Coyoacán, Mexico last week. For anyone with an interest in Pre Columbian ceramics this a place for you

I am slowly migrating away Meta and am looking for my clay community on bsky. This my two chambered wood kiln that I built at my studio in the Ozark National Forest in NW Arkansas.
