​John Segell, a Santa Fe potter, received a BFA in Ceramics from University of Wisconsin, studying for four years under Don Reitz. He was also fortunate to be able to participate in summer workshops with Warren MacKenzie at the University of Minnesota. After moving to Santa Fe in 1980 and raising a family, John continued his enthusiasm for ceramics continuing to throw pots - to the benefit of friends and family, while working in the hospitality industry. Now retired, he is focused on renewing his love of clay, working full time in his studio, and firing in his own hand-built sprung arch kiln. John crafts decorative and functional high-temperature stoneware. A current member of Eldorado Arts and Crafts Association, he is happily exploring new avenues as a potter.

All  work is fired to cone 10 (2350 degrees) in a gas reduction kiln. Studio visitors welcome by appointment. Please contact me

 I'll also be showing at the Vista Grande Library during the month of August/ 2026.
Please join me at the 2026 Eldorado Studio Tour, Sept. 19/20, 10 am - 5 pm. 

  Studio visits at my house are welcome, with advance notice. I always have a nice selection of items available for gifts and special occasions . Contact me for an appointment. 
     Thanks,​   John
