John has been working with clay more than 25 years. He makes a wide varity of stoneware items including dishware, cookware, and architectural ceramics such as tiles and sinks.

For the last few years John has been designing and producing a line of fine stoneware Cremation urns.

All of John's pieces are handthrown on a potter's wheel, formed from stoneware clay then fired, glazed and fired again. Forming each piece by hand allows the natural flow of the clay to come through in the final piece. It also means that no two will be exactly alike.

John working in his studio in historic downtown Frederick, Maryland. Centering the clay on the wheel is the first in the process of any wheel thrown pieces.

Using his 25 years of experience, John, allows the design to flow from the clay.
