Willie Singleton- Allentown Art Museum

Willie Singleton
o Use of clay
o Creates his own clay from his backyard
o Contemporary and elegant design
o Ash glazes
o Low-firing for a more textured look
This artist hand makes his clay from his backyard and he uses a lot of different types of glazes that I had not heard of, and since I am having a growing interest in ceramics, I want to learn as much as possible about both the sculptural and decorating aspects.
The type of kiln that this ceramics artist uses is a traditional wood burning kiln, He learned in from a Japanses man that the longer the clay can be fired,
The more brilliant the colors of the glaze bake.
