Joseph believes in the importance of combining beauty and purpose. In all of his functional pottery, he tries to create a design that is both visually appealing and able to stand up to daily use. Many of his designs are influenced by places where he has lived, especially Japan. All of his pottery is produced in the traditional way of wheel thrown, slab or hand formed materials. He uses some custom tools that he has made, and he custom blends all his glazes from raw materials. He is always experimenting with new glazes, glaze washes and slips.
