Clay is the perfect medium for working spontaneously with expressive thought and execution. It is especially well suited for explorations of creative accidents and gestures in elements of pottery and sculpted form. ~Steven Skinner

Statement
I love making pottery.

Working with colored stoneware, and inlays of porcelain, I create one-of-a-kind, sculpted pottery by combining techniques of wheel-throwing, hand-building and spontaneous gestural mark-making.

My pottery is influenced by my training as a fine artist, my attraction to printmaking and sculpture, and my interest in the unearthed artifacts of ancient cultures. Although my pottery is ‘functional’ – the bowl, the jug, the pot – its ‘form’ is distinctively unique, contemporary, organic and personal. It is my passion.
