highfire stoneware, reduction fired to cone 10, microwave & dishwasher safe Amy Schnitzer - NY is a New York City-based potter. She rediscovered pottery in 2010 upon making a caree r change and taking a 6-month work hiatus. She quickly shifted from years of hand-building to wheel- throwing and has been working at the wheel ever since. Gas reduction, salt, and wood are the ways in which she prefers to fire her work due to the rich colors and textures and unexpected results. She works with 5-8 different clay bodies at any given time because they produce vastly different results. Her pottery is functional — meaning it’s meant to be used. She focuses on form which is key to functional work because handles need to be comfortable, lids need to fit, and bowls and plates need to stack. Show more
