“Hi Steve, I bought this tea bowl nearly 5 years ago and I just wanted to tell you, that I still love it and use it e v e r y day – although I do ceramics myself and have so many bowls from other potters… 🙂 Merry Christmas and a happy new year. All the best from Berlin, Anna”  ~ December 23, 2018

“Got the package today. Very fast…the piece is exactly what I wanted. The asymmetry fits my eye, as do the muted colors. It’s beautiful! I appreciate the nubs on the sides, my fingers fit perfectly (purposely I assume). It is also the ‘right’ size in my hand. I’m sure I will often think of Muir walking amongst the redwoods, as well as Picasso while drinking my coffee. Not bad companions for any morning. Thanks for your dedication and hard work.” ~ Steve Brubaker, New York, February 2014

“Hi Steve,the bowls arrived already! Oh I loOove them, is much more pretty than on the fotos! And so soft lips! These two bowls are so much more expressive in real!! Thank you veery much Steve!!!!” ~ Anja Keil, Berlin, March 2014

“It has been thrilling, to say the least, to have such interesting, intricately detailed pottery/artwork to handle every day. And it gets handled a LOT! …I work at home and have lots of small meals thoughout the day…They have also withstood the test of much handling by myself as well as others in the house, and we have had only one breakage out of the eight pieces I bought a year ago. Actually, amazingly enough, NO CHIPPING! Hooray!…I was so enthralled by the beauty of the colorful glazes that I took photos of my dishware to show and tell to my friends and family back home in Australia. I have not yet named each piece, but I do stare at them as I try to memorize the individual markings of each of them…Congratulations on your creativity, design and top quality production. I have bought incidental pottery from many street vendors in my neighborhood, and from around the world, but yours is the first to become my daily dinnerware.” ~ Lily of Noe Valley, San Francisco, January 2008

“Thank you for all your time and energy in my wheel throwing lessons with you this fall. The breadth and depth of knowledge that you have to offer is beyond impressive and is only surpassed by the wisdom that you share. It seems to me that creating pottery is as much a spiritual experience to you as it is a physical practice. And sharing in this experience with you has been nothing short of inspiring. I believe that with the technical fundamentals and the Zen approach that you have instilled in me, that I will continue to improve as an artist and craftsperson…” ~ Anya Dobrowolski, December 2011

“Thank you Steve! You and your family are so great!…I really enjoy your teaching style and feel that I am improving already…I’m excited to have this new skill. It’s going to be really fun to see how I progress in the next few weeks with some additional training from a really skilled potter. What a blessing!!…Steve Daniels is a talented artist and a wonderful person.” ~ Brandi Gleason

Hey Steve…I think of you every time I go out to the wheel. Thanks so much for the terrific lessons you gave me four years ago…you’re an awesome teacher. Blessings, ~ Candace Hunter

“When I think of Steve Daniels’ pottery, four words come to mind: creative, consistent, highly functional.” ~ Tripp Sommer, News Director, KLCC

“I have been enjoying Steve Daniels’ pottery for 15-plus years. He is the finest we have in the area. As a mudmaker, I am very critical of craft and an admirer of creative style. I am a sculptor and pride myself in making forms that are honed to the finest of elements of each clay body I work with. Steve Daniels incorporates all these qualities in his wares.” ~ Carolyn Osborne-Sommer, owner of Sandune’s Raku Studio
