Come meet the man behind the dinnerware at some of the best Michelin-starred restaurants in the world. Roll up your sleeves and put on your smocks folks, I’m fired up about this one! Let's make some handmade bowls and plates with Local Legend, Jono Pandolfi.
Last April we spent the day with Jono in his light-filled studio in Union City, New Jersey. No, we did not recreate the scene from Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore BUT we did create a new Limited Edition BRAD LEONE X JPD CEREAL BOWL!
Hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed learning the ways of the clay. The jig. The wheel. The feel. Rollers, Racks, and only a couplah cracks along the way.
Get your Limited Edition Brad x JPD LOCAL LEGENDS cereal bowl, complete with custom back stamp, in Toasted clay and Moss glaze: https://www.jonopandolfi.com/products/copy-of-5-75-coupe-cereal-bowl?_pos=1&_psq=brad%20leo&_ss=e&_v=1.0
