Ok, I found it. I was very sory to discover that this good fellow has
passed away. Looks like his family is keeping his website alive, which is
very cool. Any body want to see some very cool planters, and learn about
an alternitive way of thinking about centering large amounts of clay, go
here

I did visit the site and bookmarked it, too. I had some of the same feelings
there that I have in my work as a hospice chaplain... a sense of wonder mixed
with feeling cheated to have met someone whose death precludes getting to
know them better/deeper, and certainly precluded knowing them in their
prime.

Leland, This looks like a great site! Joel speaks about the importance of
"yogic" breath in throwing on the wheel. It isn't only useful for the work,
but I've found it useful in bringing meditation into the act of throwing, which
has an effect on the potter.
