Ryan

I want to be the Bob Ross of pottery.

About Me

Making pots, all day long, making pots while I sing this song .. This is where I work. You are welcome to come down and take a look at some of the finest local art Waukesha has to offer. Ryan Pederson

My Interests

I make pottery. Lots and lots of pottery. I figured out that this is what I'm supposed to do when I grow up. Oh, and some times I like to go fishing.

I'd like to meet:

Creative artists of all kinds; glass blowers, potters, sculptors, photographers, people who want to buy my pottery.

You can see more of my work here:

Music:

I listen to a lot of classical.They say classical music can make you a little bit smarter, but you already knew that.That’s a quote from the classical channel for those of you that are not in the know.

Movies:

yes, I do like movies.

Television:

I do my best to stay away from it, and my best is pretty good.

Books:

I read a lot. So much so that some people think I read too much. I can't stop learning. I love to learn. Some people may say, "That’s dumb. Why are you always reading books and learning? That’s so stupid." I love the people who say things like this. They help me learn.

Heroes:

Jesus. My Mom and Dad and my Brother. Abe Cohn the father of Door county pottery. Bryan Becker who allowed me to develop my skills by doing production at his studio/gallery - Bryan Becker Clay Werks - . Mr. Schrupp my high school ceramics teacher.
