Nearly all of Mark Pharis’s early work was functional, created in a wood-and-oil-fired, usually salt kiln, but since 1992 he has worked exclusively with electric-fired earthenware. Around the time he turned to earthenware he began “making work that I felt was mine,” he has said. This Teapot is one of these works. It’s handbuilt, based on forms cut from slabs using two-dimensional paper patterns. The process owes much to the traditions of pattern making found in sewing and sheet-metal work. His glaze designs and forms are geometrically based, yet casual and intuitive.
