Leroy von Glan

Leroy specializes in ceramic object creation because of the unpredictable possibilities involved in the construction and glazing of a pottery piece. Clay has been a part of human existence for thousands of years, yet the fresh and new of it is always there when he sits down at a wheel.

A self-described “thing-maker in clay,” Leroy considers ceramics to be both the simplest and most complex of any art medium. He describes the simplicity to its elemental nature – earth and fire, while its complexity is attributed to understanding the piece in balance, form, color, and touch.
