Keith Taylor: Live Pottery Demo

We have a very special program for our September meeting! Keith Taylor will be demonstrating a kickwheel made cactus and succulent pot from start to finish. He will also answer questions regarding pottery, plant/pot presentation and general cactus and succulent care.

San Francisco Bay Area born and raised, Keith “Kitoi” Taylor, has been a renowned cactus and succulent collector for over thirty years, as well as an established potter. Keith has an extensive collection of many specimens of rare and collectible plants. He was interested in showing his plants at various Cactus and Succulent club shows but was never satisfied with the containers available in the retail market. His solution? About 10 years ago, he began making his own. Soon after, his pots were admired by fellow enthusiasts and collectors, and he began making them for friends and family and grew his craft to what it is today.

His unique styles and dynamic textures play off the natural tones and textures of his specimens. The idea behind many of his pieces is to give the plant a one-of-a-kind ‘habitat’ style vessel to showcase not only the beauty of the plant but the natural elements of the pottery.
