Our team consists of manufacturing personnel with over 40 years of service, former owners of paint-your-own-pottery, clay, and traditional studios, art educators with active teaching certificates, and recent Fine Arts graduates from several area colleges. Ceramics isn’t just our job—it’s what we went to school for, it’s what we do in our free time, and it’s the art form we admire above all else.

About Todd Hickerson: My passion for art was nurtured by the “American Da Vinci, my great uncle Viktor Shreckengost. However, I didn’t begin to play with clay until college. I dove hands first into the medium at The Ohio State University where I received my BFA with a focus in ceramics. Between 15 years in the Army and the “battles” of growing a beautiful family, I have found time to expand my clay knowledge with numerous residencies, workshops, and teaching opportunities. I have studied at Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute of Art, held residences in China, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, was the studio tech at John Bryan Community Pottery, taught elementary art, was the resident artist/instructor at Clayspace/Gallery 831 for seven years, and have taught workshops throughout the world. I am blessed with the opportunity to get my hands dirty in clay everyday while working for Mayco as a designer, technical support, new product development, and instructor.
