My name is "Mikey" Rock and I am a Ceramics graduate from East Carolina University. For now I am living the life of a potter. Just making the best I can of every day I have. My work is influenced by the various styles of graffiti, and the true message, if there is one, is still unreadable. Even to me.

“I made my first pot - a wretched little bowl with a pitted glaze - in November, 1962. This simple act changed my life, leading me to believe, 50 years later, that potters may change the world for the better, one handful at a time. My feeling is that we potters finish our work, but only others can complete it, through use. Pottery, therefore, is only finished once, but can be completed endlessly, by a succession of users, keeping it active in a variety of settings. When we say we are “moved” by a pot, it may be the animating force of its creator refusing to be still”.
