Dodero Ceramics: Distinctive. Elegant. Genius.

Why does southern Oregon seem to birth genius? John Dodero’s ceramic creations glow with simple brilliance. Simply genius. Once you’ve seen one of his pieces, you will never forget its image. The vibrancy of the colors he uses. His novel incorporation of a raku-style firing technique. His clever fusion of Asian and southwest Native American influences.

You are immediately attracted to John’s art but it is his personality that’s the real show-stopper. John reveals, “If you are looking for a potter with a fancy pedigree or letters after their name, I am not your guy. I am mainly self-taught, flunked every art class I took in school and am probably unteachable.” Ah, John, you give the rest of us hope!

Since 1977, Dodero has evolved a ceramic style like no other. His working studio in Jacksonville, Oregon–a small township in southern Oregon–is sort of “east meets west” and his pottery reflects that synthesis. Successfully marrying these two styles creates art pieces that fit seamlessly into almost any decorating style.
