I don’t have any specific people who inspire me that are well know or famous potters. I know that a lot of what Joe does I strive to get better and try similar pieces and techniques. I also use the internet to look at pictures of others work and u tube different techniques. Most of my sketching techniques on my pots are ones that Joe has taught me. For him it comes natural for me I have to work on it. I like to create item that I will use or that will be functional of others. So I guess the only potters that have inspired me is Joe and Rachel who taught me to through.
