As a graduate student, he attained knowledge in teaching Sculpture and Three-Dimensional Design classes to undergraduate students. Serving as a Teacher's Assistant and Graduate Assistant to the sculpture area during my graduate studies, these positions required lesson planning and implementation. Prior to entering the graduate program, he earned his B.F.A. in sculpture with a minor in photography from Delta State University. While earning his B.F.A., he also gained experience teaching art classes to elementary and junior high school students.

In the last two years he has been a Ceramic Artist and Instructor for the Oxford School District located in Oxford Mississippi, and has established a ceramic program, “Bolts”, for the Oxford School District. The program was established as part of our transition program in hopes that our students will be able to learn, create and become accessible in their future throughout everyday life.

Michael's roots run deep in the farmlands of the Mississippi Delta.  He also spent several years in Ouray, Colorado in the San Juan Mountain Range in the Colorado Rockies. While living in these two such exclusive areas of the country, he developed unique skills working with many different mediums such as stone, ceramics, wood, paint, drawing, film, and metal works.  His fascination with these facets have become the drive for his sculptural inspiration.

We are so excited about the future of Satterfield pottery! We love our rich Delta heritage and the ties that bind us to North Mississippi. We believe that our background, experience, talent, and familiarity with the earth give us a unique edge in the pottery industry. That coupled with a lifelong interest in the arts will serve us well and will continue to inspire us to create new and beautiful works of art, making Satterfield pottery a beloved Mississippi household name. We are thankful for your support and your business and we look forward to many years of serving you.
