Joel Brown

“My ceramic pieces reflect my architectural background.  After many years of building design and construction, I’m drawn to the immediacy of work in clay.  

I fire my pieces with wood in kilns modeled on ancient Japanese designs.  It takes a crew  several days to fire the load.  Stokers come to appreciate the surface variations from the impact of flames and ash.  The kilns are full partners in our process. 

With the passage of time, I’ve shifted from single large forms to arrays of smaller related sections.  Audience speculations about my inspiration are always more interesting than any actual source.”
