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 Michelinstarred restaurants in the world.

Last April we spent the day with Jono in his lightfilled 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...
