Michael Ridder
The Art of Functional Pottery


I have lived in Colorado and Northern New Mexico for most of my life. I have worked with clay for about 38 years, off and on. I worked as a Behavioral Health Counselor for 28 years and always maintained a home clay studio during that time. I worked in clay when I had the time and never lost interest creating in that medium.
I have lived in Questa, NM for the past five years and have been working in clay full time since moving there. I enjoy interacting with my customers through gallery openings, Art/Craft Fairs and an annual Studio Tour.
