Danny Aguirre

Meet Danny!

Danny Aguirre is self-taught potter by night and a software engineer by day. Originally using pottery as a way to wind down after work, he quickly fell in love with creating functional stoneware pottery. Danny has found inspiration in his Mexican American roots to inspire his work while experimenting with different stoneware clays and cone 6 glazes.

All it took was one wonky cylinder and I knew pottery was going to be my thing. Although I only have 6 months of experience under my belt, I strive to improve my craft daily. I’m excited about sharing my work with others and finding homes for my pieces. Check out my instagram at @dalfarero.
