Chad Brown

"I enjoy making wood fired alkaline glazed and salted pots. Many of the shapes that I make today are like the ones that my grandfather and great-great grandfather made. I see pots in two ways: shape and surface. The shapes are designed by me and the surfaces are decorated by fire. Occasionally the best shape and the best surface find each other; this is my forever pursuit." - Chad Brown
