Jon Almeda is a miniature ceramic artist located in Tacoma, Washington. Raised in Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest Jon finds inspiration in the ever changing cloud formations in the sky and the movement of the tides. Jon's practice is a response to the colors, energies, textures and composition of his life. Years ago he came across a book called "Creating Ceramic Miniatures" that dramatically changed his outlook and approach. He went the opposite direction and started to see how small he could throw. He discovered that working small was much harder than he imagined. After 15 years of creating miniatures he is still challenging himself to improve and to try new things with each kiln load. Almeda's pieces are so impressive because without any scale or context they look exactly like their larger counterpart in detail and proportion.
