Kris Cravens

My background is clothing construction – Fashion Design. Quite a bit of my work is highly decorated, much like fabric. I try to give each piece a personality. Clay is a lot like working with fabric. I like to hand build and cut slab rolled clay into pattern pieces. "Everyday" pottery is my focus. I like thinking of a beautiful pot or platter that you can use in everyday life.

My brand is black and white. I love the geometric sharpness of black and white work but the splashes of color make me smile. I am inspired by Matisse, Warhol and Lichtenstein. My new work reflects the spirit of these artists!
