"Each vessel is imbued with a rhythm and pattern that echoes the randomness and order found in nature."
–Nicholas Lepore
My high-fire stoneware vessels are functional and sculptural with an emphasis on surface texture and graceful forms. Each vessel is imbued with a rhythm and pattern that echoes the randomness and order found in nature. The forms are classical while the tactical surfaces invite the viewer to touch and embrace each piece. Sometimes, I add smooth surfaces to temper the action, which brings contrast to the work. Each piece is completed using a variety of glaze and firing techniques. They appeal aesthetically to your senses and are also used to grace your table for a meal.
