I was raised on a farm and have fond memories of growing up there. I moved out here to Kalispell, Montana in the fall of 1972 and I still miss Minnesota. I knew nothing about pottery or ceramics, I guess I am what you would call a self taught ceramist. I met Jean Hanson in about 1984, she had a pottery and ceramic shop and she taught me a lot about pottery and ceramics, but most of the time I just flew by the seat of my pants, trial and error type stuff. I have won many awards with my altered greenware ceramic pieces. About six years ago I started making pottery burial urns and have sold quite a few to the funeral home here. After I finish writing this web site, I plan on doing more pottery and ceramics and pottery urns to sell on the internet. I have two grandbabies, six and four years old, they ain't babies by any means, but they always will be that to me. I have introduced them to pottery and ceramics and they seem to like it. I get them small pieces of pottery and they paint them. Anyway, I spend as much time with them as I can because they grow up so fast and eventually get friends and then gramma kinda goes by the wayside for a while.

All About Clay The best way of starting out is to take a few lessons. You will probably waste quite a bit in materials when you first get started. Figuring out how to truly make handmade pottery correctly and shape into what you want it to be can be quite an ordeal. The different tools that a normal shop will have can be fun to try. You will soon see which ones you like to use the most and then when you are ready you will know which ones to buy. When you get all set up, just enjoy the
hobby and have fun at it. Some people get pretty
serious and start selling their creations at craft
fairs and small stores, but others just like
to create items for themselves, relatives, and
friends. Whichever kind of handmade pottery you
desire to endeavor, enjoy the hobby and have
fun doing it. |
