Linkages...
these pieces emerged from images like this one
of places or occurrences on the earth
that I find beautiful, interesting or just amazingly surprising
I don't try to duplicate them, but rather chase the energy they offer me
and try to share it in pottery form...

Statement/Resume

Statement...

The Natural World is filled with energy of all kinds...
vibrant, alive and profound. My efforts at present are attempts to rub up against that energy, hoping to learn and then make it visible in some small quiet way. The goal is for the process to leave an object seemingly not made by a person... but rather something to be discovered or found... as from walking along a beach or strolling through the woods and stumbling upon something curious. It's the wonder that I'm seeking... and some magic... hoping that some day the pieces will possess enough energy to make a Vermont dowser's plumb bob dance...

Gallery Directions

If you'd like to visit the gallery here, you would be most welcome. Phillips is on RT.4 between Farmington and Rangeley, Maine. From Farmington take RT4 NW to Rangeley. As you pass beside Phillips, look for Edmund's Market on your right. Bog Pond Road is about 4.3 miles from there off of RT4. Look for road sign on right and then my Bog Pond Pottery sign, turn right on Bog Pond Road and go straight back to my place. I look forward to seeing you! and remember cell phones often don't work in this area, so be warned...

Purchase Pots

I'm an old fashioned dinosaur in this arena and I'm not set up for online credit card use. I know, an anachronism to be sure, but I'm tired of so many people, the banks especially, taking a cut of my work, when they have nothing positive to do with producing it... So, I do it the old fashioned way... If you'd like to purchase any pots, simply email me stating your interest. I will forward you, through the email you provide, multiple images of the pieces in question for your consideration. If you decide you'd like something, I ask that you send me a check in the mail and upon receipt of your funds I'll pack up the piece and ship it to you through Fed Ex Ground... shipping charges vary with distance so a bill for shipping will be included... Should you desire a large piece, I will deliver them personally to your home or office, as they are not replaceable and the risk of shipping can be avoided. That will all be discussed with you beforehand by email... any questions at all, please email me at bogpond@tds.net and I'll do my best to assist you... thank you for your interest...
