In today's episode, I visit the studio of emerging artist Zach Weber. He is a Chicago-based ceramic artist.

Zachary Weber embraces the unexpected, chance happenings that occur in the firing process, bringing the spirit of improvisation into his construction methods as well. His work is an exploration of the balance between chaos and order. Photo courtesy Pavilion Antiques & 20thc
