About Me

Papa Fuzz, otherwise known as Fuzz, Fezz, or anything besides his legal name, Christian, is a teacher by day and a potter by night. He resides in a small town in southern Oregon, nestled amongst an abundance of Doug Firs and the notorious North Umpqua River.

He got his start in pottery freshmen year of high school, where his plan was to simply take it for one or two terms to fulfill his art credits. Within one term he became hooked, part in because of his kick ass teacher, Raburn, and part in because it became his own personal therapy after a series of foot surgeries.

After splitting from the craft for a number of years, he finally returned and rekindled his passion and love for the craft. Eventually this craft led him to filling his dinner table with some finished and unfinished pottery for months on end, to the point where people began nagging him to find a new place for his pots. Now, we’re here, where this stupid bloke is selling his pots in order to make his dinner table a dinner table again.

As for his work, he is currently fixated on marbled vases, consisting of either white and chocolate stoneware, or white and dark chocolate stoneware infused with various mason stains. His other current focus is finding simplistic glazes to couple with his favorite chocolate stoneware. But, like Oregon weather in the spring, his work is forever changing and never stagnant. On a similar note, no two pieces will ever be the same, he hates the idea of fixating on a particular form when throwing on the wheel.
