Welcome to Glacier Alaskan Pottery
Glacier Alaskan Pottery is a small business
located in Fairbanks Alaska that developed as a result of my
interest in clay. I've enjoyed ceramics very much over the
years and it has also turned out to be one of the few interests
I've had that actually pays for itself (unlike other interests -
like flying.)
As you can see from the pictures above, my
grandchildren love clay and pots too! I hope they will soon have their
own gallery pages. The center picture above is a collage showing
a spectacular morning view of the Alaskan range from my living room
window along with some of my work. If you would like to see
more of my pots check out the gallery link above.
Equipment repair
It's amazing how one thing leads to
another. It all started with my grandfather who was into ham
radio and owned a TV repair shop. His interests sparked development of my
own venture into electronics. Over the years, beside being a potter,
I've also been an
electrician, biomedical equipment technician, navigational aids
technician, mechanic and luthier. This, of course bled over
into my pottery. I kept looking at all the broken and poorly
maintained equipment in studios I visited and always thought,
"I can fix that!" Or, better yet, "I can make a
better one of those!" My wife hates to hear me say that one.
