Tony Winchester - Persia, Iowa
"I love to facet, alter, assemble and add sculptural elements to my wheel thrown forms. I use cone 10 reduction stoneware for its durability and functionality; spraying contrasting glazes, seeking both depth and detail in color, and contrast of texture that will accentuate the sculptural aspects of my forms. I am always looking to express gesture, fluidity, and arrested motion: the essence of process. The process is my passion."
Tony received his BFA in sculpture and ceramics from Bellevue College, a small school in Nebraska. His love of sculptural form finds its match in, as he puts it, "the emotional and gestural qualities of clay."
The flowing qualities of ash glazes over matte glazes create a richness of surface which enhance the movement and mood of his work. In these wheel-thrown and altered stoneware pieces, colors create small landscapes, all different.
Winchester has worked as an independent studio potter since 1993 and has received national recognition. Winchester's work is lead free, oven and microwave safe.
