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 - aka the man behind the dinnerware at some of the best Michelin-starred restaurants in the world.

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! and ohhh boy is it pretty.

Hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed learning the ways of the clay. The jig. The wheel. The feel. The mold. The bowls, Kilns, Rollers, Racks, and only a couplah cracks along the way...
