from a student...

Jack, as wonderfully irrelevant as he can be, is a mentor, a friend, and, most importantly, an example to live by. Not only does he teach by example, he teaches by quiet mentoring and suggestion. After studying under him for a mere four months, I found myself drawn to ceramics as an art form, a mode of self expression, and, most importantly, a passion through which to put my Self into solid being. Through Jack's teaching I was not only able to define my own artistic style but also to discover the multiple venues through which I could express my Self. I strongly suggest this and all his works as a mode through which to hone your own particular style and art form, may it be through glaze, firing, or sculpture.
