Functional Ceramics, by Maggie Jaszczak and Zac Spates

Originally from Ontario, Canada, and now based in northern Minnesota Maggie Jaszczak has defined her style through uncomplicated forms featuring the use of matte glazes washed over subtle geometric patten. 

Zac Spates work balances simple forms with the complicated and labor intensive process of wood firing. His wheel thrown pottery has a rough-hewn quality which allows the atmosphere in the wood kiln to move across the surface of each pot, creating beautiful unpredictable finishes. 

Both artist create functional pottery which is a joy to use everyday.
