Hi, I'm Jackson Gray.
I came to clay after years of thinking I had no artistic talent (thanks to a high school art teacher's advice to stick with math). While hiking one day, I fell into step with an acquaintance who asked me what I would do if I didn't have to work for a living. I told him I had always wanted to throw clay. I swear I didn't know that he manufactured potters wheels for a living. Long story short, I have been working with clay since that day in 1992, learning mostly from community college classes and workshops in San Diego.
I thought the best way to get involved was to join Clay Artists of San Diego and have been an active member for years. I recommend the organization to anyone with an interest in clay. I am also a member of The Potters Council and NCECA.
