About Me
- Lee Love
- I make functional pottery in an effort to preserve local culture in a throw-away society. My main goal is to inspire other people to make their own creative work. Human beings have always worked with their hands. We need both creativity and Nature to be healthy and whole human beings. Making and using handmade pottery is one way to bring Nature and culture together in human life. I intend my work to affect people who use it the way the green countryside affects someone who normally lives in the city: The fresh air and the green of the trees and grasses restores the soul and refreshes the spirit. If my work can do this, in a humble way, it is sucessful in my mind.

Hello Lee
What are those small covered bowls on the ceramic pedestals with the holes called?
I would also like to compliment you on your best photo presentation of your work to date. All the detail of your subtle surfaces really do come to the fore. Love that blood stain on that one tea bowl. That chrome (reeve)green is it a stain or chromium oxide in the Reeve Kaki?
Sincerely (not waxing on),

Hi Don,
Those pedestal bowls are ceremonial, for the Buddhist altar. They are influenced by Yayoi work.
Thanks!
