"I have always related to the Japanese culture and have been inspired by some of the potters there. The influence of Zen on Japanese ceramics has had a profound effect on how I approach my own work -- almost in a spiritual way. I try to let the clay speak during the creative process allowing for things to happen which adds to its freshness, its individuality." Mike Weber
