His travels across the nation for teaching and artist residencies have broadened his skillset, influenced his work, and given him a unique opportunity to make an impact.

His passion for wood fired and atmospheric surfaces are apparent in his work. Following that passion Jon obtained his MFA at Utah State University, and in 2019, he became education director at Queen City Clay.

How did we Meet Jon?
We first saw Jon’s work during our visit to the 2023 NCECA conference. Jon’s work was one of many beautiful pieces on display at Queen City Clay. His one-of-a-kind candelabras were one of the many we saw during our visit.
His unique creations left a lasting impression, leading us to acquire one of his candelabras at the Flower City Pottery Invitational last fall, which we are proud to display at home.
