Pottery for us is a way of life. A lifestyle we cherish greatly. We strive to make each final piece the best it can be. Taking great care and consideration to each material, process, tool and technique that we use. We give our all into our craft and in doing so some part of us goes into the work as well.
At Michael Kenney Pottery, I produce functional/decorative porcelain and stoneware. Work is wheel-thrown or hand-built and high-fired in oxidation and sometimes salt/soda. Visit my website, or view my work at Kress Emporium in downtown Asheville.
I am compelled by the sensation of seeing things fresh. As if waking, for the first time. The flora & fauna surrounding my studio continues to surprise me. My desire is to create something that might also bring its observer to a place of discovery.
I make and woodfire functional and sculptural ceramics in Walnut, NC. My work is a study of thousands of years of historical form with a contemporary take on surface.
