Ausable Pottery was created in 1977 after I received my BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute.  My dream was to be a studio potter in the beautiful Adirondacks, where I built a big kerosene-fired kiln and a very small studio space.  Then I decided to go to graduate school at University of Colorado, married and started a family, and Ausable Pottery became a dormant entity.

After years of living in Massachusetts, raising two girls with my wife Jill, and making and selling pots as Pierce Avenue Clay, my wife and I have returned to the Adirondacks and I've decided to resurrect the Ausable Pottery.  The studio and kiln are long-gone, but I've built a new gas kiln from some of the original bricks, and converted a garage into a new, more comfortable studio space.  

​I'm not sure yet exactly WHAT I'm going to do in that studio!  

As I figure it out, I will update this site and with luck some interesting things will show up here!  Thanks for visiting...
