May Artist of the Month

Randy Snyder is an Alchemist! He has mastered the technique of turning mud into money. He does this by designing and constructing RAKU pottery, a Japanese inspired form of low temperature firing of the pots that yield a matte black finish. The finish may be enhanced by glazing and multiple firings to get sophisticated yet subdued coloring. He also seals the inside of his vases so that they are waterproof and are capable of handling flowers in water.
His pieces take many forms. He has vases and bowls as well as table ware. However, his latest works are his fish which hang on the wall and swim through the atmosphere. They are tropical in flavor and they all seem to smile.
