Can I make a Bowl

Welcome to Jake Zweig Ceramics!
Discover the art and soul of pottery through the lens of a former Navy SEAL, athlete, and lifelong ceramicist. My journey with pottery began at the tender age of seven, throwing on a manual pottery wheel and finding a deep connection to the clay beneath my hands. Under the mentorship of the talented Miles Struxness at Charles Wright Academy, I refined my skills in high school, honing techniques that became a foundation for a lifetime passion.
Pottery followed me into my professional life, becoming an essential part of my story. While pursuing my MBA at the University of Michigan, I fought for three weeks to secure a spot in the prestigious art school, dedicating 25% of my coursework to ceramics. It was a challenge worth every moment, cementing my commitment to this ancient and transformative craft.
On this channel, I’ll share the techniques, creativity, and therapeutic value of throwing pottery. Expect content rich in pottery and ceramic terms, from mastering centering clay on the wheel to pulling even walls for mugs, vases, and bowls. I’ll dive into the nuances of firing in kilns, exploring oxidation and reduction atmospheres, and perfecting glaze recipes for unique finishes. Whether it’s hand-building, wheel-throwing, or slab construction, this page will bring you closer to the world of ceramics.
Pottery has always been my place of peace-a grounding escape where the only limit is imagination. Through tutorials, behind-the-scenes studio sessions, and deep dives into the artistry of ceramics, I hope to inspire your creative journey and share the meditative joy that pottery offers. Join me in exploring the beauty of functional and decorative pottery, the science of clay bodies, and the endless possibilities of this timeless art form.
Whether you're a seasoned potter, a curious beginner, or simply someone who loves the aesthetics of handcrafted pottery, this channel is for you. Together, we’ll create, learn, and celebrate the art of clay. Welcome to the Jake Zweig Ceramics community-where peace and artistry unite!
