About me

Introduction Derek Mulliner was first introduced to ceramics while in high school. After four or five years of throwing pottery he took a break of over 20 years . He is now able to spend time throwing at his home studio and his studio located adjacent to Ivanpah Dry Lake where the ancient Anasazi’s once lived. One of Derek’s favorite earth glazes is made from the clay of this dry lake bed. Over the years he has built several kilns and his most recent project is a wood-burning soda salt kiln. He enjoys learning new techniques and experimenting with glazes. Derek is a member of the Nevada Clay Guild and enjoys his association with fellow potters through Pottery West of Las Vegas and Aardvark Clay and Supplies. He is married, has four children and 8 wonderful grandchildren who love to play in “papa’s” studio!!
