William Kidd
Inspired by the Beauty found in the natural world, my work is not an imitation of any real living thing, but rather life forms that might exist in some “other-worldly” place. Micro-organisms, fungi, seeds, cacti, and sea life have been observed in great detail which have inspired me to create these “organic possibilities”.
Using a potter’s wheel and various hand building techniques, my work is produced solely by myself in my studio. My clay of choice is a low-fire red earthenware clay which is then finished using oxide stains, underglazes, and my signature crawl glaze to create a rich textural, colorful surface that is unique to my work.
I have a sincere passion to create objects with clay and this energy radiates from within me into the work I produce.
