Randy O’Brien:
I find a lot of pleasure exploring the infinite possibilities in ceramics. Throughout my career I have done thousands of glaze tests. Melting different materials at different temperatures with different applications just for the anticipation of seeing the results. Through careful control, the beauty of these materials can be coaxed to resemble the texture and brilliance of mosses, lichens and mineral formations. My glazes take a step further from a 2 dimensional surface to a 3 dimensional surface. They add as much form to my work as does the clay. All my pieces are created with a love and passion for the process.
