-Here are updates and images of projects we have been working on!
Working out a set of 8 soup & sandwich plate forms for a custom order. I need to work these up a bit more to make them intresting. I have not done slab building in quite some time. These will be glazed Creek Road Pottery rusty red. Would a plate setting of these look nice in CRP seafoam green? Let me know!
Welcome to all the new folks on the page! I am just getting back to the studio after a short break due to the holidays, work, and family events. It sure was a busy time! I have a bunch of custom orders to finish for you all then will be making plates, working the Spring line of pots, and maybe a few classes. I was gifted some real nice books on clay I hope to go through as I love some of the tecniques used in these. So more pots are on the way! I enjoy being your local pot dealer!
My Uncle Raymond Wayman just went full time selling not to long ago! Congratulations! He has been helpful in giving me advice when I ask him! I am very proud of him!
I have a confession to make....I pin to Pintrest! 😭😭😭 I have been making a plate board of other artists and I pin while on break at work..awww man I will get picked on for this but I can't help it. There is soo much beautiful work out there to see!
The Creek Road Pottery Pintrest boards are here for those who pin and might be interested in following.. should I do a group board for CRP folks?? I don't know what I'm doing but it is fun for sure!

Biography
I was introduced to clay in a basic ceramic class at Keystone College in 1996. It was there that I saw the artist and professor Bill Tersteeg turn a large bowl on his wheel. I fell in love with clay as a medium because I was able to manipulate it in many ways, far easier than painting or drawing. After achieving my AFA, I then spent three years at Marywood University where I completed my BFA in Ceramics with artist and professor Matt Povse. While attending university, I took time off to work an apprenticeship with the artist Sharon DiGennaro at Wild Flower Pottery in Thompson, PA. With student loans to pay off and no studio space, I put my wheel and kilns in storage for a long and sad 10 years and worked in the manufacturing industry. When we bought our home, I put in a small studio and dug out my wheel and kiln. It has been an incredible time working with clay again, and I was encouraged to sell some of my functional work by family. I continued almost where I left off. I have been studying textures on functional ceramics, making conventional forms a work of art for people to enjoy while using them. I hope you enjoy the work and welcome to Creek Road Pottery.
