Bio:

Josh Floyd graduated from Fairmont State University in WV, spent time in Appomattox VA at the Cub Creek Foundation for the Ceramic Arts and worked as studio assistant to Betty Hedman owner of Smicksburg Pottery, PA.

Most recently Josh has been making work in Brush Valley, reviving the studio of the late David Hovland. David was an early member of the studio tour and an active educator, becoming well known for his children’s workshops and wood fired anagama kiln. During his time at Smicksburg Pottery, Josh enjoyed firing the Hovland kiln every few months. This past spring Josh spent 2 months in Brush Valley making work and firing the kiln, deciding then to use the studio as his own stop on the Potters tour. In addition to his work in Smicksburg and Brush Valley, Josh recently worked at Penland School of Crafts as studio assistant to Ron Meyers, Chuck Hindes, Ayumi Horie and Daniel Johnston. He has most recently been experimenting with wood fired earthenware clay and traditional Thai techniques for large jar construction.
