George Lowe

Each piece of pottery made by the ceramicist George Lowe is hand formed and fired, uniquely beautiful and spiritual in their creation, but utilitarian in nature and meant to be touched and used. He works alone and each vessel guides Lowe in the construction of its form. Lowe is inspired by the long history of the pottery medium and that is visible in his art, but he also strives to make each piece relevant to the modern world. He develops dramatic exterior effects with various glazes and firing methods that connect with historic examples of ancient and folk pottery, but also nature. Lowe has a B.A. from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa and an M.A. in ceramics from Wichita State University in Kansas. He is a true craftsman who has taught many young potters throughout the Midwest the importance of creativity and discipline in pottery. Lowe is passionate about his work, he loves to create pottery and could not imagine a life without art.
