What would make a mathematician working towards his Ph.D. turn around and pick up pottery? According to John Tilton, one day, he went over a craft shop and thought it was interesting. From then on, he was hooked.
Through the years he, "developed a deep love for historical and traditional pottery." Not many
people nowadays are living off of artistic pottery the way he is. In his works, he successfully captures the spirit of the items, which he strives to do everytime he creates them.
In his own words: "What I'm striving for is that kind of perfection that makes my pots see BORN, not made or contrived; an organic quality that comes from attunement rather than merely expertise."
