Mugs
The latest research shows that regular exercise
and lifting weights is beneficial to our
overall health, however coffee mugs were
not part of this study. How heavy or how
thick pottery mugs should be is a question
of skill and aesthetic preference. Equally
important when choosing mugs is even weight
distribution from top to bottom. Pictures
don't tell you, but I will: these mugs are
light and nicely balanced (not bottom heavy)
with comfortable handles you can get your
hand into. Noteworthy is how much better
the coffee tastes served in these mugs.
Black
We call this one black but it is more of
a carbonatious charcoal color. The
surface of this glaze is a smooth mat sugary
type which makes it great to touch and easy
to maintain. Aesthetically, black
is elegant and formal, suitable for any
interior designs and color schemes.
Gold
Here is a glaze with a thousand soft shades
of yellow to buttery yellow. The surface
is a smooth waxy mat which makes it great
to touch and easy to maintain. It
looks great on its own or in combination
with our black glaze. Since this is
a very popular color we use it as a standard
studio glaze and we keep an open stock which
means that you can add more pottery sooner
or later.
Sky Blue
The surface of this glaze is a smooth waxy
mat which makes it great to touch but the
color is not for the faint of heart. On
a cloudy day you'll be looking for this
shade of blue. This color is more or less
a turquoise blue. Our clay is a white stoneware,
smooth like porcelain, and in combination
with this medium blue glaze, the color breaks
in lighter shades when thin, especially
around edges.
Avocado green
This waxy mat glaze is similar in touch
and feel as above. Any and slight variation
on the thickness of this glaze shows a variation
in color from a kiwi green to cantaloupe
green and everything in between. This color
invokes a fresh feeling and based on our
experience it makes all food groups look
appetizing.
In his teens, Paul was first introduced
to the art world through the medium of oil
paints. After his first pottery course,
he became seduced by clay and the ceramic
process. With freshness, integrity, and
humour, Paul has managed to retain his passion,
commitment, and focus in what is generally
thought of as an ancient Art form.
Paul Rozman received his Bachelor of Fine
Arts degree from the Nova Scotia College
of Art and Design, and his Master of Fine
Arts degree from the New York State College
of Ceramics at Alfred University, Alfred,
New York. He has exhibited and taught Ceramic
Art extensively throughout Canada and the
United States. His work has been featured
in Ceramic publications such as The New
Majolica, The Ceramic Design Book-Contemporary
Studio Ceramics, Best of Pottery
I, Best of Pottery II, Tin
Glazed Earthenware, Ceramics: Mastering
the Craft, and Ceramics Spectrum.
His work has been featured numerous times
in national and international Ceramics Magazines
such as Studio Potter, Ceramics
Monthly, Contact Magazine, and
Ontario Potter.
My aim is to make living a work of art by
transforming the ordinary into extraordinary.
When pottery is used in our daily actions
of eating and drinking, there is an opportunity
for meaningful aesthetic experiences. One
way to achieve this is when pots delight
us, humour us, and exalt us. Ideas of utility
expressed through these qualities are essential
because they invite an emotional connection.
This way indifference is challenged and
the user is gracefully transformed by ordinary
actions. The mark of great Art, after all,
has the overwhelming capacity to transform
us, not merely inform us. When pottery is
expressed in this manner it has purpose
for us and meaning for others.
