As our family grew, my shop became the creative space, accompanied by family, friends and neighborhood dogs who were always welcome.
Clay is how I get stuff out of my head. It is a connection from my soul to my hands.
I made my first pot, as a 10 year old, tagging along to my Mom’s art class. It was the beginning of a love affair with creating.
My first shop in the 1970’s was a corner in a local greenhouse, throwing pots, tying macrame hangers, and making customized bowls for local restaurants.
Handbuilt pottery is a syncopated beat of multiple touches allowing for movement of thought and flow of emotion.
Creation is prayer and vision. It is solidifying faith of things yet unseen; of action and life over that empty space of doing nothing.
-Dave Templin
About the Pots
My pots are hand-built from slab and coil. I use a variety of stoneware clays. All pots are fired twice. Fully glazed pieces are watertight, oven & microwave safe for food service. I leave the inside bottom of planters unglazed and include holes for drainage.
