2024
Jesus Rodriguez is a Rochester, MN potter. He currently works with an iron-rich stoneware clay body often covered with slip and various glazes. Jesus first discovered his interest in clay while taking a class at RCTC in order to avoid mathematics courses. By the end of that first semester he was hooked! In the summer you can find him throwing pots in his garage. During the winter he moves his studio to Plainview where his in-laws graciously let him use a heated building.
