Chris came to me asking about an apprenticeship in spring of 2008. He and I worked together on casting plugs for the anagama's side stoke holes. Chris had taken a woodfiring workshop from Mike Weber and was really excited to learn as much as he could about wood-firing and making better pottery. I liked Chris' attitude and work ethic, I also admired his drive to do the apprenticeship despite the commitments of a family and employment. Chris worked at Mill Creek till December of 2008.
