Pottery by Eric Stearns

The Lee Dam Center for Fine Art is open, and ceramic work by Eric Stearns is now on exhibit.

Stearns grew up on a farm, and you can see that influence in the way his pieces are built. There’s a quiet order to the lines and symmetry, the same kind of measured rhythm you see in rows laid out across a field. Up close, the surfaces shift from smooth pattern to smoky, crackled texture, thanks to raku, a process where pottery is pulled from the kiln while it is still glowing hot and then transformed by smoke as it cools. Every piece comes out a little different.
