Sequoia Miller produced a range of stoneware functional forms that were either thrown and radically altered or slab built. He used minimal color, typically black and dark green often with unglazed areas providing contrast. Most pieces were fired in a gas kiln with some pieces fired in a wood kiln. Miller approached his work with a high level of curiosity and academic prowess. About his work as a potter he has said, ?I?m attracted to the idea of practice--attentive repetition toward something small as a way to understand something universal.? When considering why customers buy a pot he says, ?they buy the exploration, of which the pot is an artifact.? Miller left the pottery studio to pursue an academic route that led him to earn a PhD from Yale University in 2018. In 2018 he became the Chief Curator at the Gardiner Museum, Toronto,Canada
