Logan is a Boise, Idaho native who discovered his passion for clay in 2011 as a high school junior—and was hooked from the start. Since then, his work has been featured in a range of exhibitions, from local galleries to the Art.Write.Now2013 show at the Pratt Gallery in Manhattan. After a few years away, Logan returned to ceramics professionally in 2022, focusing his time on teaching beginner to intermediate wheel-throwing classes, leading Raku workshops, and growing his personal portfolio. Now new to Camas, he’s excited to plant roots and share his love of clay and community building through à la mud.

I am drawn to clay because it continually gives lessons in patience, unpredictability, and letting go. My very first ceramics teacher began class with a question that still drives me: What’s the difference between art and craftsmanship? Between art and fine art? At á la mud, I hope to share both the fundamentals of form and the quiet, grounding practice that clay invites. You’ll probably catch me trying to reclaim every bit of clay—or giving extra love to my studio sidekick pup, Bella.
