Dax Newman

Dax Newman is an 23 year-old American potter, surfer, rock climber, and TikTok creator. A California native of Korean American descent, Dax rose to fame in 2019 for his pottery making videos after garnering over 250 million views on TikTok, leading to coverage by outlets such as Buzzfeed, Cosmopolitan, and VICE, who notably referred to Dax’s content as “visual ASMR fronted by a teen heartthrob.” Searching for an alternative path to the traditional college route and curious to explore his love for ceramics, Dax’s career in pottery began after getting a pottery wheel for his 17th birthday. His hobby of making pots soon turned into an entrepreneurial pursuit, and he now creates, sells, and distributes handmade pieces from his business and brand known as The Pot Shed. His social media following continues to grow as he captivates audiences with a homemade pottery business, active California lifestyle, and desire to inspire Generation Z and beyond to create with their hands.
