Ceramics Video Workshops with Stephen Jepson

Invite master potter Stephen Jepson into your classroom or studio, as he teaches the basics in a way that is easy to understand and assimilate. His series of highly rated pottery-making DVDs includes unique lessons that help beginners and intermediate potters take their work to the next level by mastering techniques such as glazing, pot decoration, extra-large pot-throwing, and kiln-building.

Stephen Jepson received his MFA in Ceramics from Alfred University in 1973. In the same year, he established his studio in Geneva, Florida, and the ceramics program at the University of Central Florida, where he taught for eight years. He is highly skilled in production throwing on the potter's wheel as well as making large, one-of-a-kind pieces.
