My name is Joseph Jordi Marqués-Falk (Jordi). I'm a Maui based ceramics teacher with a lifelong passion for wheel thrown functional ceramic art. When I was twelve years old I enrolled in a weekly ceramics class for teens that I regularly attended up until my graduation from high school in 2011. I continued taking pottery classes in college, ultimately graduating with a BA in philosophy from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine in May of 2015. In August of 2015, I started making pottery at the Hui No’eau and established my own studio in Makawao on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawai'i. I have sold at markets and events all over Maui, and these days all of my inventory is listed in my updated online store. I'm well known for my work teaching pottery - I began teaching pottery classes in September of 2020, and in 2021 I was hired to teach the ceramics class for the Haleakala Waldorf High School. While I no longer teach there, I do teach private and group classes at my home studio. My classes are generally met with enthusiasm, and past and current students testify to my wonderful teaching abilities. In truth, it's because I strive to empower the creative capacity inherent in all my students, and to have fun in each moment.
