Geoff Lloyd
Geoff Lloyd sees his work as a continually evolving process of refinement, developing new ideas from those things he sees and does that really speak to him. With the amazing variety of shape, color, materials, and techniques available to the studio potter, it is inevitable that the potter’s handmade work is synthesized down to an expression of one’s self and his own unique tastes and experiences. Geoff’s work is no exception; from the ash glazes inspired by his work with wood fired kilns, to the use of porcelain as his primary medium, his work is heavily influenced by his surroundings.
He strives to blend elements of the ancient aesthetic roots of pottery with the contemporary elements of form and finish to produce a line of work that is both uniquely appealing and completely functional. It is Geoff’s hope that you are drawn by the details and handcrafted beauty of his work and that you will soon grow to appreciate just how sturdy and functional it is as well.
All work is made of high grade English grolleg porcelain, layered with combinations of multipleazes, including wood ash, micro-crystalline, and copper red glazes, applied to greenware, or raw clay pots. They are then fired slowly to a temperature of approximately 2450 degrees Fahrenheit, making it much more durable than most mass produced ceramic ware. All of his work is food safe and suited for use in the oven, microwave, and dishwasher.
