Affinity Pottery
The fact that we
have been making pottery together for forty years says a great deal about who
we are. After all these years we still enjoy the creative process of
bringing form and function together through the medium of clay. What we create in our mountainside studio represents the
evolution of countless experiments in design, glaze formulation, technique, and
firing process.
“The joy of artistic
creation is doubled when the creations bring joy to others.” This motto has
been the attraction that sustained us as we first began our adventure in clay,
and has continued to reward us through these many years of trials,
breakthroughs, disappointments, and successes.
Each piece goes
through up to twenty-five different steps of production by the time it reaches
the customer. A love of the depth and richness possible in high fire glazes in
a reduction atmosphere has kept us experimenting like the sorcerer’s
apprentice, seeking the subtle worlds of color, texture, and shape around and
within each piece.
