Richard Vincent

Richard Vincent lives and works at his home studio in North Branch, Minnesota. His work is best known for the botanical inspired pieces he creates with porcelain and stoneware clay. Starting with a wheel thrown piece and then altering the form immediately or carving when leather hard, and often brushing slip for relief, he creates functional vessels that reference leaves or blossoms. His vases and bowls can stand alone as decorative pieces to beautify your home, used to hold a seasonal bouquet, or serve a favorite dish for a special occasion with grace.

Richard says “I first discovered my talent for forming pots as a child in my backyard with friends after a summer rain. Playing in the mud I was delighted I could form bowls. During high school in White Bear Lake, MN I was introduced to the potter’s wheel and was hooked for life.” Richard continued his ceramic studies at Lakewood Community College, White Bear Lake, MN and in 1979 he began working as a studio potter.
