About the Artist
Brad is known for his functional handmade pottery, combining classic ceramic traditions with modern craftsmanship. His work includes a wide range of pots for cooking, serving, and home display—each piece designed for everyday use and long‑term durability.
He joined Cedar Creek Gallery as an apprentice to Sid and Pat Oakley and quickly became part of the community. In 1981, Brad opened his own pottery studio on the Cedar Creek property, where he continues to create his signature functional ceramics.
*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026.
After the show closes, teapots will be carefully packed and shipped by September 28, or they may be picked up at the gallery.
