England has not disappointed yet. I finally got to see Martin Crawford's forest gardens, see some giant old trees, stumbled upon ancient medlars in a church yard, ate the best salal berries I've ever tasted, and got to bike through 2 immense parks IN London featuring several big deer herds. I head to Plants for a Future tomorrow in Cornwall and then to Bristol if you have any recs!

Our Story

Hi. My name is Dan!

I am interested in molding the ancient, Earth-made medium of clay into useful functional forms that are strange and satisfying to hold and behold. I've been interested in clay since I was a kid, first studying pottery in high school in suburban Chicago and then in college. After a long post-BFA hiatus from making art and craft, I have fully thrown myself into the exploration that is possible by curiously engaging clay and experimenting with and refining new ideas.

Though I've lived in Portland since 2008, it wasn't until I started throwing at Georgie's in 2016 that I got serious about clay. When not working in my NE Portland pottery studio I run my bike shop and create progressive post-metal / dream-pop jams called From The Petrified Forest.
