Ron Meyers is known for his utilitarian, wheel-thrown earthenware and stoneware vessels that feature a host of loose pictorial gestures and painted or carved human and animal characters. His early desire to become a cartoonist is evident in these works. T-Bowl is a good example, with a rough fossil-like fish sketched and etched into the surface. Each of Meyers’s pots is characterized by hand and finger marks left from throwing and altering the piece, sometimes adding a wobbly unevenness. His earlier forms were primarily in stoneware before he switched to low-fire earthenware in the late 1970s and 1980s. In the mid-1990s, Meyers expanded his work to include low-fired, salt-glazed pieces, about which he said, “I needed a vehicle to reduce the color and instill a pure sense of form.” He fires his works first in an electric kiln and then in a gas kiln.
