Functional, Original & Imaginative
Pottery
Thom’s education in art is from the University of Akron., While
pursuing both photography and design, his inspiration and desire to
create is something he has found naturally, on a daily basis, since
childhood.
He is drawn to and inspired by
nature and his surroundings and views his work as a vehicle in
communicating and expressing those feelings into something tangible
that others may get pleasure from.
Thom’s work also produces
functional, wheel thrown pieces, but his passion lies with handwork
methods, the most primitive and individual of techniques, where
pieces are constructed from slab, ropes, and balls of clay. No two
pieces of pottery will be exactly the same. All vessels are
created from high fire white or brown clay bodies, using an
assortment of earth tones, crystal glazes, and accents.
Traditional to non-traditional,
functional to hand sculptured, all imaginative renderings are
reasonably priced for your enjoyment.
