    • Freshly trimmed pots.
    • Me with a large porcelain platter.
    • A peek into the wood kiln early in the firing. Soon it will be too intense to photograph.

    Handmade Functional Pottery from Pittsburgh

    I started working at an arts center some years ago, and shortly there after I started making pottery. I've been fortunate enough to work alongside some great artists and learn from a variety of master potters. Early in my ceramics journey I spent a month in close contact with a 14th generation Japanese potter who specialized in tea ware.

    As a result, I'm highly influenced by Japanese pottery, and I am a student of Japanese tea ceremony (licensed by the Urasenke school). I also enjoy creating a variety of utilitarian forms and I occasionally create very commercial-oriented pieces that incorporate ceramic decals.

    My mentors include the executive director of NCECA, the founder of Manchester Craftsmen's Guild, one unbelievably knowledgable graduate of Alfred University, and a professor we affectionately call Greeny.

    *I'm also on Etsy as Jeff Guerrero with a shop named GuerreroDesign where I sell laser cut wood lamps and more.

      I enjoy making functional pottery, and employ a handful of construction methods but focus predominantly on the potter's wheel.
