About The Potter

Ron was introduced to Pottery in 2001 during a community education class, where he found that he struggled less than most, which ignited a love for muddy hands and red hot kilns. Not being able to capitalize on the experience at that time and Ron having that experience on his mind had to wait until 2008 before he was able to find the right avenue to pursue what would become “Chipman Studio”.

The first thing that Ron had to do was find an Instructor. So early in 2008 he found a retired high school art teacher that had a pottery studio in his basement that was willing to let him rent studio time. So in two hour increments, twice a week Ron started his journey.

Timpanogos Story Telling Festival (TSTF) at the pottery venue, Movie props for some of the local movie industry studios, Colonial Heritage Festival (CHF), Lots of demonstrations in educational settings, talking about ceramics in our colonial history, with the most recent being down in Southern Utah at Liberty Village.

So Ron has spent the last 17 years perfecting his craft and putting together a small studio that brings all of his creations to life.
