Video summary: Welcome to the Jay Craft Center. We opened our store in the small Adirondack town of Jay, NY in 1980. We joined Etsy in 2012. In this video we walk you through the process of making one of our hand carved mountain mugs from start to finish. I start by wedging and putting the clay through a pug mill to mix the clay and get out any air bubbles. Next I weigh and form clay balls to throw on the wheel. I form the mug shape on the wheel then attach a handle. My son draws and carves a mountain design in the mug and lets it dry. After the mug has dried I glaze it in a dark forest green and load it in the kiln. Once the kiln cools the mug is removed from the kiln and is complete. Thank you for watching, if you want to see more check us out on Instagram and Facebook @JayCraftCenter.

    I make all my pots with the goal that they will be used every day and become treasured family heirlooms. I like to bring my pottery to life by painting designs on my pieces, including pinecones, irises, black eyed susans, trout, birds and more.

    After making pottery in the Adirondacks since the 70's I moved to NC in 2014 and built a new studio in an old railroad Stationmaster’s house. My recent work focuses on bold colors, carved designs and combining different clays in a marbleized pattern.

    Assistant, Maker, Designer

    As the son of 2 potters I spent a long time trying not to follow their footsteps, but now have come to realize how much I love pottery. I started with a line of farm animal themed pieces and have since branched out into Adirondack inspired designs.
