Steven Skinner Artist's Statement


Steven Skinner Stoneware and Porcelain Pottery - bio

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

My pottery reflects my training as a fine artist, my attraction to printmaking and sculpture, and my interest in the unearthed artifacts from ancient cultures. Concepts found in certain art movements – Dada, American Regionalism and Pop – also inform my work.

Although my pottery is “functional” – the bowl, the jug, the canister – its “form” is distinctively contemporary, organic and personal. Pottery making is my passion.
