Welcome to my pottery YouTube channel!

I’m a ceramic artist who plays with mud and turns it into pottery with character. I’m also a serial entrepreneur and SEO expert—but here, clay comes first.

On this channel, you’ll find videos with tips, techniques, and creative ideas for making interesting pottery, including throwing, surface decoration, glazing, and firing.

I primarily wheel throw my pots, often working in sections to create larger forms, and I share plenty of videos showing exactly how I do that.

I love textured surfaces and pottery with attitude—crackled textures, slip decoration, chattering, roller textures, scratches, beaten patterns, and more.

One of my biggest passions is Pitfire Pottery, so you’ll find many videos exploring that process, from raw clay to finished, smoke-marked pieces.

Last weekend we did some more pottery painting - me and my good friend and art painter Isak Larvad. I think these ones came out even better than the first ones <3



What do you think?

I found a great (to me) new way of making very wide, shallow bowls and platters - much easier and with fewer fails.

A new and Exiting project!



I am working together with my good friend, and art painter Isak Larvad to create a new collection of large bowls, platters and vases that we decorate with colored slips - paintings on pottery.

I love Cyprus and I love the good friends and potters that I got to know.

One of them is Vassos Demetriou.

Vassos was educated as traditional production potter but is now focused on creating unique ceramics art. He works with many kind of clays, techniques and way to fire pottery.

In this video he shows us how easy wheel throwing can be. That is, if you know how to. But it is, I think, such a joy to see a skilled craft-man create pots like this.

Most people believe pitfired pottery can’t be functional… but that’s a myth. Watch how pitfired pots hold up in real, everyday use.

Please watch and share the facts :-)

How do you like to glaze?

In todays video I will show how I often glaze my pots - spray glazing, using multiple glazes and various oxide washes.

Please share what you prefer to do ...

What is your favorite pot to make (or buy)?

One that I really love to make is this "bamboo vase" shape. Not only is it fun and easy to do, but it also fit well in the kiln - with very little wasted space. And my customers really seem to like it, so always lacking behind on production :-)
