This is my favorite mug. I use it every day. Although the handle looks rough, it is actually ergonomically fitted to my hand.

Above left is a kiln almost ready to begin firing pottery that has been glazed. It's my old Cress top loading ceramic kiln. It fires using a kiln sitter (part of the blue box on the front).
Above right is a ceramic teapot with a bamboo handle. As an alternative to hand painting clay pots with pottery glaze, they can be dipped or poured, as with this teapot.
It's loaded with incredible photos of raku pottery.
I really love the 500 series books.
There are at least 7 of them including 500 Bowls, 500 Vases, and 500 Cups (these are my 4 favorites).
Each one contains 500 quality photos of beautiful, unique pottery to inspire any potter.
Browsing photos of work by other pottery artists always gives me inspiration to try new and different techniques in my own work.
Kiln loaded with greenware pottery. This is one of my favorite ceramic images.
Left is a kiln being loaded with ceramic greenware. Right is me emptying my muddy water into a larger bucket so the clay can settle out over night.
The Teton Mountain Range near where I live. It's a constant source of inspiration and recreation for me.
Me working in my studio and me hugging an incredibly large pot near the entrance of the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana. If you have a chance to go there, I highly recommend it. Check them out online at
