David Gordon,has been creating ceramic forms and glazes for the past 15 years. Prior to this, he was a pottery collector and "appreciator" for many years. A 25-year-long career as teacher and school administrator provided sufficient stress to encourage him to take his first pottery class and, since that time, he has developed a deep connection with this medium.
