How a Clay Artisan brings Centuries of Pattern to Life - "Patterns in History"

Instagram - @KinForged Patterns in History – The Clay Language of Forrest Lesch-Middelton In a quiet studio in Petaluma, California, master potter Forrest Lesch-Middelton shapes more than clay, he shapes time. Every pattern, every vessel, carries a story that stretches from 14th-century Iznik kilns to the red earth beneath his feet. Through his work in volumetric image transfer, Forrest fuses ancient geometry with modern form, turning surface decoration into living structure. His pots don’t just hold, they speak. Alongside his wife Beth, and through the apprentices he mentors, Forrest’s studio has become a living classroom for history, empathy, and craft. In this episode, we explore what it means to create in conversation with centuries of makers who came before, and why, in a world of speed and disposability, the handmade still matters. Featuring: 🎙️ Forrest Lesch-Middelton — Ceramic Artist, Educator 🎙️ Sandy Simon — Gallerist & Ceramicist 🎙️ Alex Ramirez — Apprentice Filmed & Produced by: KinForged 💬 About the Series: KinForged is a documentary series about makers, artists, and artisans who carry tradition forward through their hands.
