JOHN KING, potter

PUZZLE CREEK POTTERY

I received a BFA from Western Carolina University, with concentration in printmaking and ceramics. After wandering aimlessly for a few years, I got back into pottery through a class at Isothermal Community College. Ruth Bell and Jo Thompson were the instructors at that time. When they left that position open, I began teaching the classes. I've been there now for nearly fifteen years, and our daughter, Kiowa, has been teaching pottery classes as well for several years. My wife, Donna, and I do not support ourselves with Puzzle Creek Pottery but it does a lot to keep us sane.
