Randy Johnson lived in Northern California for 18 years perfecting his craft of pottery making at the Mendocino Art Center in Mendocino, CA, The College of the Redwoods in Fort Bragg, CA, and Sierra College in Grass Valley, CA. These are where he learned the traditional ways of making pottery. He prides himself on making his own high fire glazes and hand firing his own pieces. His work consists mostly of Porcelain and Stoneware functional pieces like plates, cups, and bowls for everyday use. However, occasionally he dabbles in larger decorative pieces. He moved to Arkansas in 2005 and started Red Barn Pottery. His pottery can be found in his gallery located in Arkadelphia, AR. He is a member of the Caddo River Art Guild.
