−	Groups are invited into Daniel’s studio to watch him work the potter’s wheel as he discusses the introspection that shapes his work. He discusses ~~God’s~~ choice of clay as the material that was used to shape Adam and connects the creation of his objects to “giving birth on a potter’s wheel” -- a reference to the verse in Exodus 1:16 which describes Jewish women giving birth on a birthing stool. Daniel feels that every piece of clay contains aspects of the craftsman who creates the object. He identifies aspects of his own past as well as those of his teachers and other individuals who shaped his life and his art in his pottery. He teaches that as each object moves on to its new owner its story takes on new details that come from its new owners.	+	Groups are invited into Daniel’s studio to watch him work the potter’s wheel as he discusses the introspection that shapes his work.

He decided to move to Japan continue his ceramics studies and decided to make a short stop in Israel along the way. Once in Israel, Daniel found that he didn’t want to leave.

In addition to functional kitchenware, including serving dishes, tea kettles and plates he molds Judaica for the entire year such as menorahs, kiddush cups, candle sticks, washing cups and seder plates.
