Functional forms have provided the vehicle by which we express our interpretations of the universal images that appear in the art of cultures ancient and modern from all over the world.
Mike Haley and Susy Siegele have been working together since 1975, making distinctive colored porcelain pieces. Their technique involves layering different colors of porcelain together into loaves, which when sliced like bread, reveal the carefully constructed patterns in the clay. Each of the slices from a loaf is shaped into a piece of pottery such as a teapot or a bowl. The colors they use come from naturally-occurring oxides, but depend for their richness on their firing technique.
Susy and Mike make their pottery to be special, but at the same time, it is made to be used. It is okay to put these dishes in the dishwasher and the microwave.
