Elgin, Ross

Form, surface and an overall quality of utility are factors I strive for in my work.  Color and design are important aspects of my pieces and give a fresh feeling of vitality to any environment where my pottery resides.  I aim for strong, clean lines and incorporate form and function with abstract surface treatment, uniting the pottery form with a contemporary canvas.
