Northeast
Georgia pottery holds an art form of it's very own. From generations of
potters creating new and different art forms from the earth's clay, it is
probably the best area for finding inspirations to contribute to our own craft.
We create many of our utilitarian wares using many Georgian clays because
we enjoy
the iron richness of the "fire clays".
We are
considered self taught potters having, no formal training in pottery or
ceramics. We have gathered information from the many wonderful potters that
we have come across that have been willing to share their experiences with
us as well as trying to attend as many workshops as we are able and studying
from every form of media material that we can get our hands on. We are
constantly expanding our experiences by always trying different types of
high fire clays and pushing our limits as well as the clays. We
like to work exclusively with the high fire clays
because we feel that our pottery art is best expressed through making
utilitarian and art oriented wares fired to the higher temperatures needed
to make them totally functional as oven safe art. My greatest pleasure
comes from creating a functional
work of art that will allow me to express my creativity as well as embed
my passion and love into each piece of clay that I work with. It is very
difficult to explain the relationship that a potter has with their clay
but it is always reflected in their work. I hope each piece I make will be
as special to its new owner as it was to me.
After
receiving many requests for our pottery we decided to offer many pieces
for sale at a The Crawford Gallery (owned by Broderick and Michelle
Crawford) located in downtown scenic Clayton Georgia. Please
contact us for any additional information on any of our pieces or for additional photo's and dimensions.
I started out dabbling in
painting with acrylics and painting on some unusual surfaces such as
skulls and gourds. Here's one of the first paintings I ever tried on canvas
of a tiger...
