Tony & Mindy
Winchester - Ceramic Artists 
I love to facet, alter,
assemble and add sculptural elements to my wheel thrown forms. I use
cone 10 reduction stoneware for its durability
and functionality; spraying contrasting glazes, seeking both
depth and detail in color, and contrast of texture that will
accentuate the sculptural aspects of my forms. I am always
looking to express gesture, fluidity, and arrested motion: the
essence of process. The process is my
passion. -Tony
Winchester
Mindy's intricately applies colored slips to
functional wares. Her work features equine art and
landscapes.
Tony received his BFA in sculpture and
ceramics from Bellevue College, a small school in Nebraska. His love
of sculptural form finds its match in, as he puts it, "the
emotional and gestural qualities of clay." The flowing
qualities of ash glazes and matte glazes create a richness of
surface which enhance the movement and mood of his work. In
these wheel-thrown and altered stoneware pieces, colors create
small landscapes, all different. He has worked as an
independent studio potter since 1993. Winchester's work is lead
free, oven and microwave safe.
Details:
Winchester uses two approaches. Some of his work
is standardized in a production line. Other pieces are one of a
kind. Mugs, serving bowls and wall plates in several sizes,
sculptural teapots and vases.
Tony Winchester's current work reflects his
philosophy of pottery's 3 basic shapes: the cylinder, the sphere
& the platter. By combining these 3 in differing proportions,
Tony will come up with a wide variety of functional and sculptural
forms.
