Roberts, Scott

As I form the clay, I feel it transforms from a clump of moist earth into an object that comes from the depths of my heart and soul. Although I have somewhat of an idea as the clay begins to take shape, I never really know what is going to be formed. As a result, my pieces are one-of-a-kind.

I hand dig most of my clay and prepare it into a workable medium. All of the shaping and forming of the piece is done by hand with simple tools. I hand-burnish or polish the surfaces with various polishing tools to acquire the shiny finish. Most of the pieces are completed by pit-firing, thus, you never know the colors that will emerge. It is determined by the "gift of the flame".
