If you take the time to read Alan Wallwork’s introduction, you will find that the spirit of his work lies in simplicity and a respect for the primitive and the natural. “Preferring non-repetitive work, using hand-building and wheel-thrown processes, Alan has produced an extensive range of functional sculptural forms and glazed tiles. Working mostly in stoneware and porcelain with great variety in surface treatments, and techniques to produce an array of textures, colours and time worn effects.”

Occasionally, while researching post material, I stumble across an artist that makes all of the dead ends worthwhile….Waylande Gregory. “Waylande Gregory was one of the most renowned American sculptors of the 20th century; with pieces collected by the Met, the Whitney, and the Smithsonian. Inspired by the complexity of nature and abstract motifs, Waylande Gregory’s advanced techniques and patented methods of glazing and glass sculpting revolutionized fine ceramics and helped define the Art Deco era.”

Karen T. Massaro describes her work as poems for the eye and hand. “I make poems for the eye and the hand. Composite arrangements of forms support fired layers of color. Most of my works have remained intimate in scale, and nod to the tactile and visual potential of clay surfaces.”
Happy Birthday to ‘My Sister Eileen‘…always my artistic & personal inspiration. Eileen works in fiber and her studio is full of quilts in a variety of stages of completion. There is one HUGE difference between our studios and the bedroom we shared as children…her side/studio is beyond organized and neat…mine looks like a tornado just passed through.
