EVOLUTION STONEWARE POTTERY

Here's some personal information about me. I consider myself a native of Johnson City, Tennessee, although I lived in several towns during my early childhood. I have a degree in Chemical Engineering with an Environmental specialization from Auburn University. For 11 years I worked as a research scientist and process engineer doing polymer based material development and manufacturing support at Kimberly-Clark, Corp. I was making a career as a scientist when I took my first pottery class back in 2002. I was immediately hooked on clay. While I was inventing new elastic materials and filing lots of patents at work (I am proud to have 9 granted patents), I was building my own studio and spending all my free time making pots, experimenting with glazes, and juggling sales. In spare moments at work I sketched new pottery designs and formulated glaze recipes to try... Finally an opportunity arose for me to focus on pottery full time in 2009, and I took it!
