Tim Turner Pottery

New Stoneware Pots

This group of work is from the gas kiln. Each piece is dipped in either a white or red shino glaze, patterns drawn with wax resist and then a final glaze sprayed over top. Work is fired to 2345 degrees which results in an extremely durable finished piece. All work is hand thrown and designed to be used and enjoyed in daily life. Pots are food, microwave and dishwasher safe. These pieces or similar ones are available for purchase. Dinnerware sets are available through special order.

I started my clay adventure at Appalachian State University in the mid 70's, moving on to Penland, NC where I met and worked with some remarkable artists and craftspeople. In the early 80's I moved backed to the Boone/Banner Elk area in the northwest corner of North Carolina where I set up a studio and produced pots for over twenty years. In 1996 after the Watauga River had washed through my studio for the third time I decide to take a hiatus from pots and concentrate on painting, which I had also been doing in my "spare" time and could easily in done on higher ground.

Eleven years later I had an opportunity to get my hands dirty again thinking I'd just play around a bit but caught the clay bug again.

My goal is to produce strong, simple forms with minimal decoration.

The majority of my work is made from high fired stoneware and fired in a gas kiln to 2345 degrees. Glazed with shino glazes, patterns are drawn with wax then a final glaze sprayed over. Pots are made for daily use, food, microwave and oven safe.

I also wood fire a few times a year, giving me an chance to play around with different shape and glazes. Pots are covered with slips and glazes and fired for 12-14 hours to 2345 degrees.

I love using the wood/soda aspect of the firng as a means to create subtle effects that emphasize the strength of the form.
