David Voorhees

David, (presenter of the online workshop Porcelain Tips For Wheel Pottery) is a professional potter and ceramic teacher with over 40 year's experience in the arts.  

Born in 1950 in New York, father of three and married to jeweler, Molly Sharp, Voorhees Pottery was established in 1975 and operated in North Carolina, with the exception of two years when David worked on the Maine coast. Primarily self-taught, David has exhibited his work in numerous juried art shows and exhibitions and has been represented by craft galleries throughout the Eastern US.
David hails from a noted family of artists; parents Edwin and Mildred were recognized throughout Eastern NC for their watercolor and oil painting. David’s siblings Jane, Susan and Chad, as well as several of the grandchildren are production artists.
His studio is located at their home in the Green River valley of Tuxedo,NC, on four acres of land. Davids interest in wood-firing pottery has resulted in designing and building a wood-fired soda glazing kiln in 2009 at his Tuxedo studio.  Constructed as a car kiln, it is one of the first wood-firing kilns designed in this way.

He has been a long-time instructor at John C. Campbell Folk School in NC and has conducted porcelain classes and hands-on workshops in many locations in the USA.  David currently divides his time between making pots, teaching and ceramics consulting with area private camps.

David’s pots number over 100K and are found lovingly used in homes in many countries and in various private and public collections.
