Birthday News: Officially Amazing! Guinness World Records Approved our Epic Pottery Feat!

Guinness World Record: Most pots thrown in one hour by an individual

March 7th, 2016, we made history. Our team documented me throwing 159 pots in one hour, setting a new pottery world record! Check out the Guinness World Records website for our official record.

The record was 150 pots, and I threw 159 pots in one hour. I performed this feat on a traditional Japanese style kick wheel, instead of an electric, motorized wheel like the previous record holders. I added this extra level of difficulty because I am committed to using my art to inspire people globally to attempt and achieve great goals.

“Why climb the highest mountain? … We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills…” – John F. Kennedy, September 12, 1962

Today is also my 28th birthday! YAY!

To celebrate, please enjoy this 60% off coupon TODAY ONLY if you want to give me a birthday gift by buying yourself a pot. 🙂

“This is the aspect of the art that interests me…the audience.

…much more so than the fact that people call it art. Call it craft, I don’t care what they call it….long after I’m dead somebody will figure out what it was and how important it was. In the meantime, I get my kicks out of people seeing the work.”

“The challenge is to do the thing you have to do because you’re in love with it and can’t do anything else. Not because you want to become famous or rich, but because you will be unhappy if you can’t do it…Keeping up with fashion is the wrong challenge.”
