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 at the Lexington Arts and Crafts Society that I regularly attended up until my graduation from high school in 2011. I chose my college based on the quality of it's pottery studio, studied ceramics, majored in philosophy, and graduated in May of 2015. In late June of 2015, I moved to the island of Maui. By August of 2015 I started making pottery at the Hui No’eau Visual Arts Center - Maui’s premier pottery guild. I began employment as the firing technician there in 2019. I fired the electric and propane kilns regularly and was teaching pottery classes at the Hui from September of 2020 through the end of 2021. These days I teach individual and group classes on Maui, firing my students’ work in my own kilns. I live to empower the creative capacity inherent in all my students, and I encourage everyone to have fun with the process and not focus so much on the end result. The philosophical insights that I weave into my lessons are informed by my Masters Degree in East West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, a terminal teaching degree program that I completed in 2024.
