Jeff has maintained a part-time art practice for over 30 years that spans a variety of disciplines including ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, painting, photography and video. Over the last few years, his practice has primarily focused on making functional pottery, videos and photographs.

His videos and photographs are an ongoing exploration of the ceramic processes he does, including the making of work and firing of kilns.
