Shino

Brett has focused and studied the use of American Shino glazes.  He is fascinated by the surface decoration and the uncontrolled mystery the kiln delivers to his work.  Every firing is different and unique.  The variables are endless.

Student Pottery Work

Brett has taught many classes over the past two decades within the clay world of education.  He has taught all levels of wheel throwing classes.  As well as classes such as Kiln to Kitchen. Kiln to Kitchen is a class where his students plan a meal around the making of their pots.  The last day we cook our planned meal then, feast!

Shino is another class Brett enjoys teaching!  As a class, we use one glaze then realize the beauty and differences between each other’s works.

Brett has also taught many additional classes as well, such as Tea Bowl Traditions, Expressive Slab forms and Vessels,  Rockham Sockum Pottery, and not to mention American Raku.
