I received a BA in Art and Mathematics from Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin,
an MFA-Ceramics from the University of Oregon in Eugene. I taught pottery and sculpture
at the UO Craft Center for 14 years, and spent three years throwing production pottery
on contract for another studio until I couldn't stand to see another spoon rest, ever.
My wife Denise and I started Off-Center Ceramics in 1993, selling our own work at the
Eugene Saturday Market.
Our original product line included cow and cat mugs,
pig and elephant banks, pie plates, a few vases, and baking dishes.
Since then we've diversified, with well over a hundred items and patterns,
many of them described in these web pages
We now sell our work at fairs and shops all
over Oregon and Washington, as well as at our tried and true Off-Center Ceramics Booth
at the Saturday Market.
