Little, teeny pipes; with long, long air paths.

This small pipe (2″ x 3″ x 1.5″) has a remarkably long air path (18 inches), giving you cool, cool smoke.
These small pipes are first constructed with a maze-like pattern inside the body of the pipe. The internal maze connects the mouthpiece to the bowl in the longest path possible.
Come to this year’s Fall open studios and check out our new digs. We have stayed int he same building and on the same floor, but we have moved to a much sunnier and nicer location. The entrance is now on the Mission St side of the building at 2111 Mission Street.
We’re having an opening reception on Friday evening 5pm-9pm with snacks and adult beverages. Saturday and Sunday, we’re open from 11am-5pm.
We have more artists participating this year than past years.
You can also view my work at City Art Gallery at 828 Valencia Street in the months of October and November. The opening reception for November is Friday, November 2nd 7pm-9pm.
The City Art Gallery is open Wednesdays through Sundays.
April 6th, Friday evening, from 4pm-9m, my studio mates and I will be hosting an open studio party. Come for the drinks and snacks and leave with a beautiful piece of ceramic art.
The address is 3265 17th St. (between Mission and Capp). Just one block away from Bart and surrounded by the Mission nightlight of bars and restaurants.
I hope I see you there!
Hi de ho Art lovers. I’m getting real excited about my upcoming show at the Oakland Museum of Ceramics. I thought that I would share some images of smaller work that will be included to pique your interest in the show.
I hope that you can make the opening on Sunday, October 15th from 5pm-8pm.
The museum is located at 4401 San Leandro Street, Oakland, CA 94601. (Please call, text or email if you plan to visit before or after the opening reception.) My email address is my first name @ my first name last name dot com. (e.g. john@johnsmith.com)
It is my great honor to be displaying work at the Oakland Museum of Ceramics. My show, Land-O-Smiles, will be up from October 1st through November 15th, 2017. There will be a lot of new work on display, both large and small.
I hope that you can make the opening on Sunday, October 15th from 5pm-8pm.

I am pleased to say that I currently have a show at the Smaart Gallery, located at 1045 Sutter Street, San Francisco. The show is from July 4-August 31, 2017.
I will be at the gallery during the First Thursday Lower Polk and Tenderloin Artwalk, on Thursday August 3rd, 2017, if you want to meet up or talk with me about any of the art.
The Smaart Gallery and Studio has been around since 2012. Steve Allen, the driving force behind the studio and the gallery, has been a huge boon to the ceramic art community in San Francisco. Be sure to check out his other shows and if you have the inclination to get your hands dirty and want to learn more about clay, his studio and classes are great place to learn and grow.
For those in the Bay Area, we’re hosting our semi annual open studio on April 1-2. Stop on by and say hi. There are a dozen other artists showing at our studio
