Teapots: An Invitational - Ron Meyers Athens, GA

Ron Meyers Teapot $250
earthenware (7.5" x 8" x 6.5")

Statement:
Working with red earthenware, Ron's functional pots are made in a casual and spontaneous manner reflecting the juiciness of the material as well as the pleasure of the process.  His narrative, colored slip paintings that float on the surface in a gestural expressionistic style can be both provocative and confrontational.
