Early in the 1970’s I became interested in pottery and its historical significance, focusing on Pueblo pottery of the American Southwest. Beginning with hand-building techniques and soon moving primarily to wheel-thrown and sculpted pieces for both functional and decorative use. My work then—as now—centers on everyday ware that meets practical needs, along with whimsical or myth-inspired pieces that spark the imagination. The “Mugley” line of pottery came to life in mid 1970’s and was produced through the 1990’s. Most of the pottery produced during that period found its way to new homes through our shops (Mugley Emporium) at two Renaissance Festivals in Texas, various Shows as well as some limited wholesale markets and our gift and gallery The Mugley Emporium. Although the interest and love of pottery did not cease but, was “sidelined” for several years, due to commitments in the corporate arena. In 2025, I put aside my corporate hat, pulled out of storage my pottery equipment, materials and supplies, purchased some additional needed items and got back to my roots with Mugley Pottery production once again.
