Future Relics Gallery -Functional & Sculptural Pottery & Ceramics

Future Relics Gallery -Functional & Sculptural Pottery & Ceramics I create unique functional & sculptural pottery. My art is all created on the potters wheel but some pieces are altered.

I use create horse hair raku sculptural pottery. I work with clay because of the connection it gives me to the earth, I enjoy the look and feel of raw clay before and after it has been fired. The permanence of clay is also compelling, how a pot that is made today will be here for centuries after we're gone. I normally create the form first while considering how I will decorate the surface, some po

ts speak to me after they are created, some before but it always starts with a concept of the finished piece. Mishima is an ancient Japanese technique of carving into the clay and inlaying colored slips. Currently I have been incorporating this technique into my pieces, some are then raku fired and decorated with horse hair while others are painted and glazed in a way that produces a tattoo like quality.

A couple of years ago I lost my eye glasses while doing yard work. I'm always taking them off and putting them down somewhere “safe” but I have never had any go missing forever. I think I set them down on the patio table while I was working. Knowing how crows love shiny objects and a touch of mischief I have long suspected a crow borrowed them. This is what that crow might look like.

Another firing is done with less than joyful results as I try to learn the kiln and glaze chemicals. Thankfully a few pieces did come out nice and this pitcher is one of them so it gets to go to the April 19-21 at the Oregon Convention Center.
