Throughout history, art and craft has documented the existence of human civilization. From primordial times through today, our presence has been recorded in every medium imaginable. Although there are many ways of creating and expressing oneself in the 21st century, Drake has found his passion in clay and farming. Sitting and throwing at the wheel has become a meditative process that allows Drake to focus on each individual piece and produce an abundance of aesthetically pleasing forms. Drake's functional pottery is a product of his personal experiences in and out of the ceramic world relating to his formative high school ceramics courses, traveling the globe in search of wonderment and beauty, and most importantly, his apprenticeships at Dark Horse Pottery and the Leach Pottery. While it is true that Drake has been strongly influenced by his unique and knowledgeable instructors over the past 16 years, he holds a serious appreciation and respect for the natural world.
