Circa 1976 while working at the Gord Riesig pottery in Yarrow, BC.
After a long hiatus, I'm back on the wheel and playing with mud. I'll add some outlets for my products as they materialize. For now I have a display of pottery for sale Abbotsford at Aurora Roasters.
I just completed a large order of custom mugs for SuCasa Home and Interior Designers. Here's a nice note I recieved from Chuck in marketing...
Hi Brian, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for everything. The mugs are perfect, we are going to make good use of these in the weeks and months to come. Working with you has been an absolute pleasure. Your willingness to prototype these mugs and work with us to get them to reflect who we are was incredible. To get an entire office of designers all genuinely excited over what you created is no small task, and you should be proud of yourself for the work you did.

My latest journey in pottery production is with Mugs of Satoshi, which is a project my son Dave created. It goes along with his many Bitcoin related projects. The page where you may purchase one of these mugs is HERE.
Note the orange color that's a pretty good match to the official Bitcoin brand.
They are a coffee roaster and cafe in the traditional downtown in Abbotsford, BC (Canada). This was the original design, and we've experimented with new designs, such as the Valentines Day mug.
We love the effect of the semi-transparent white glaze over the brown clay body.
