My name is Joey. I’m a wheel based potter in Pennsylvania making pottery with the goal of bringing form and function together to create aesthetic pots that serve a purpose. I hand craft each piece and use with a variety of methods and materials to finish and decorate my pots.
I tend to make small batch sets day to day and week to week, allowing my forms to morph and change with my interests.
I currently hold two BFA’s in Ceramics and Illustration as well as minor focuses in design and art history. My work revolves mostly around things I see and experience as well as my passion for fishing and hiking. My long standing love for the outdoors and for fly fishing are dominant themes that often find their way into my artworks. Nature is an abundant and endless source of inspiration which never fails to refill my creative reservoir. Because I not only love to make objects but use them as well, my view on pottery is that of a practical user – a piece is that is interesting yet uncomfortable is unlikely to be used. Because of this I look to design and create pieces that indulge the eye and satisfy the touch.
