For those of you still interested in following Mr. Young's personal work, please follow this link to the new site for TropiClay Studio to keep up with the latest news, pottery, and whatever else finds its way into the blog!

Mr. Young: Shiprock, New Mexico, United States; I am a high school ceramics teacher on the Navajo Reservation in the Four Corners area of New Mexico. In the classroom I work with earthenware, but at home I prefer stoneware. Thanks Joel for a simple way to keep them separate!
