This workshop is underwritten by a private party and has thus allowed the
reduction of the workshop fee.
From his website "Tony's work consists of wheel-thrown, faceted, altered and
assembled stoneware forms. He concentrates on cone 10 reduction stoneware
because of its durability, functionality, and the warmth and diversity of
the glazes. Wheel throwing is his chosen method due to the immediacy of the
form in space, and the potential through out the process to express gesture,
fluidity and arrested motion. Most of his work has been faceted or fluted.
He chooses to cut the clay in this manner to express the essence of the
process. Process is his passion. From first centering the clay on the wheel
to pulling the piece from the kiln, Tony personally completes each step.
Tony's glazing techniques stem back to his beginnings with airbrush. His
pieces are liner glazed and sprayed with a variety of contrasting glazes,
searching for rich surfaces, depth of color and contrast of texture . By
overlapping with spraying, the color changes are much more subdued, with
soft, subtle transitions.
In his work Tony looks for craftsmanship, refinement and attention to
detail. Pots are made to be used and enjoyed, and we encourage people to
touch and handle our pots."
Thank you.
