Why I Buy Handmade Pottery.

5/22/2019

 

As a maker, I have a great appreciation for the arts, and using handmade pottery brings me a lot of joy.

Most of my collection are pots that I have made; especially since my husband requests to keep pots from various firings.

Otherwise, I buy pots from people that I know and admire. For example, these oval plates made by Mary Bowron. She was a wood fire potter in Maryland that I look up to. I loved her spunk and personality, and her talent as an artist. (Ps. I'm from Maryland)

And then there are exceptions. I acquired this Matt Krousey platter from Functional Ceramics Workshop . I look forward to meeting Matt someday, but in the mean while I enjoy his talent as a potter.

I guess my most recent purchases have been plates. I have been building my collection of plates to to be big enough to serve food to a larger group of friends.
