Jon Almeda is spicing up the world of miniatures with his incredibly tiny pots, which he makes, glazes, and fires by hand. It is interesting to think of Almeda as your average local potter, but somewhat of a giant compared to his tiny wares.
He creates is bowls, vases, and teapots on a custom-designed potter’s wheel that allows him the precision necessary to create the tiny one-inch pots. The amazingly detailed finished pieces are small enough to sit atop a toothbrush or on the tip of your finger.
