Kelly Price Pottery
Artist Statement
To produce pottery which enhances and enriches people on a personal level is my goal. Designing and creating a cup, bowl or plate that brings a sense of pleasure and satisfaction to another person is both a challenge and a pleasure. They are rather simple objects but using that cup every day, because it feels right in a person’s hand and against their lips, is nearly a universal experience. This is one of the simple pleasures of life of which I try to make my pots an intricate part.
Of course, the very act of creating is worthwhile and sometimes leads me into exploring subjects that are not particularly functional. I am however, constantly drawn to vessel forms and the tactile qualities of clay. Porcelain is the clay I’ve worked with for over 20 years. It has the characteristics of fluid, soft, smooth malleability, which appeals to me. I try to reveal this in the finished work and think of my pots as pieces of enduring usable art.
There is never a boring day with clay. There is always more to try, more ways to play.
