Article in Studio Potter: "Wild Glazes from your Backyard"

I was thrilled to have an article published in Studio Potter Magazine in December.

It is called “Wild Glazes from your Backyard” and you can read it on the Studio Potter website here:

Wild Glazes From Your Backyard

The article talks about my ethos in collecting local rocks and minerals for use as glaze materials and the glaze palate I made for my MFA thesis at Utah State University. I’m proud of this work and the article represents a climax to the whole endeavor.

Now I’ve moved to Oregon and left behind the Utah materials I was working with. I will be able to apply the methodology of the testing I did but am in the process of hunting for new glaze materials.

Thanks for checking out the article!

Tea Time with the Devil, Hamish Jackson MFA thesis show, USU, April 2023

This blog post is my attempt to let you visit my MFA show from afar!

I do not need to make a lengthy introduction, but just want to say thank you to everyone who made this show a reality. So many people helped me, but none more so than Lauren, my wife. I am proud of this exhibition. It was a ton of work but it came together better than I dared hope.

Here is a link to a virtual tour of the show. This allows you to navigate around the gallery so you can see how it was all laid out…

In addition to this virtual tour, and to document the show, I recorded videos within the gallery, explaining the work in each section. Each video is 3-5 minutes long.

I am also including the didactic text I had on the wall of the gallery and some photos of the work, too. I will lead you around in the order in which I intended folks to move through the exhibition.

Lets start with the vinyl on the wall…

Thanks for reading and watching!
