Few ceramists have sought to connect their practices with environmental awareness as much as David Shaner. Glacier Plate exhibits his deeply held belief that to achieve harmony potters must be grounded in their local natural environments. Deeply concerned with conservation practices, Shaner often wandered the land around his adopted home of Big Fork, Montana—just outside of Glacier National Park—gathering local clays and minerals to produce varied tints and tonal combinations. The glazes of Glacier Plate create a fluidly layered design, suggesting a colorful landscape framed by the plate. Shaner drew great inspiration from the open landscapes, deserts, and mountain peaks of the American West.
