About Us

Regardless of being a highly educated academic artist, Jacob's view of art and reasons for creating does not coincide with fine art's perspective.  Grant feels it is not necessary to provoke reactions from people who view his work, through creating esoteric, disingenuous, controversial, conceptual artworks which need an artist statement to explain the meaning of his work with the delusion that he is doing something to affect and change the world. Rather, he finds it more enjoyable, and more accessible to people creating beautiful pottery and sculptural ceramic forms which evoke reactions from the viewer instead.

Teaching for over 20 years, Jacob has given thousands of people the experience of learning the ancient tradition of turning mud into objects which can be used as functional dinnerware, and can last tens of thousands of years.

Since 2000, starting out at local farmers markets,  Jacob has sold his work across the United States.  Through art fairs and festivals, indoor wholesale/retail shows, and galleries (national and international), Jacob has displayed and marketed his functional pottery and sculptural ceramics.

When he isn't busy at the studio he enjoys spending time with his family and friends.
