Allison Severance


 
When I am sitting at my wheel up to my elbows in clay, I am blissfully unaware of all the things that should make me worried or upset. When someone sips coffee from one of my mugs, or munches peanuts from one of my bowls, it is my hope that I communicate to them the feelings of contentment and peace I felt when making the pot. The qualities I try to capture in my pots are honesty, friendliness, warmth and an inherent simplicity.
 
I finish my pots in my wood salt kiln because I love exploring the element of controlled chance. And I have always been intrigued with, and admired and respected the mystical surfaces of pots decorated by fire, ash and salt. When I fire the wood kiln, I strive to harness and direct all that energy in order to make my own mark on the pots. Firing with wood is very labor intensive, difficult and expensive; but I could not imagine finishing my pots any other way.
 
I continue to become more and more excited about clay as I experience first hand the relationships not only between my spirit and the medium; but also between the surfaces of the pots and the intense and complex atmosphere of my kiln. My pottery reflects many influences from the six year development of my career - particularly pots from Great Britain and Medieval Europe. At present, it is important to me to carry on the tradition of making functional earth toned pots. My biggest challenge now is to develop the individual style that will establish my place amongst the potters past and present. -- Allison Severance
