Max Butler

I'm  a potter, a dad, a husband, art teacher, musician, friend, enemy, and a heck of a great guy when I want to be. 

As a Potter my inspiration comes from studying the origins and evolutions of a variety of pottery styles worldwide. My heroes are Bernard Leach and his son David, Furuta Oribe, Rosanjin, Ogata Kenzan, Micheal Cardew and George Ohr.

 As a HUSBAND and FATHER, I am married and have a wonderful wife, Janice, two children, Chloe (15)and Mose (17). My heroes are my dad and my grandfathers.

I am a MUSICIAN. I play the musical saw  Music has always played a role in my life. My current band, The Saw Sages, perform regularly at both public and private functions. My heroes are Robert Armstrong, R. Crumb, Natalia Paruz and my mother.

As to the rest, you can follow along with me on my blog as I try to figure it  all out at http://sawsage-max.blogspot.com/
