Summary
Mike Griffin is a "self taught" potter who is working on making it a full time job. In the summers Mike is a golf professional and runs a very busy golf course so he doesn't get to make pots half of the year. I truly enjoy getting lost in the making process and the studio and just allowing the pots to make themselves and come from instinct and reaction to the clay.
