Patrick Hall

I started working in clay at age 14, fell in love with the material and soon got an after school job at a pottery studio where I honed my technical skills as a production potter for the next five years. Earning a B.A. in Studio Art / Ceramics at UCSB in 1982, then my MFA in 1984. In 1986 I Established Design Associates, a Design / Build firm specializing in Architecture, Interiors / Furniture Design, Custom Millwork and Building Contracting. After 28 years running a successful Design / Build firm I returned to my first love of clay. In 2012, I designed, built and established Clay Studio in Goleta California, a ceramic studio to share my passion for clay with other ceramic enthusiasts by teaching and promoting the ceramic arts in the community.
