Tim Young
POTTER TIMOTHY
A desire to create something with my hands and the complete immersion into an art form that diffuses the concerns of the daily business world were what first attracted me to ceramics. This attraction has grown into a passion for the process of making individual pieces that are mostly functional, and at times, purely decorative in nature. My work is diverse reflecting the aesthetic influences of the many talented potter/artists I have studied under through the past 50 years of continuous learning. My media is clay, a material of the earth, which I manipulate with my hands and a bit of soul. The fashioning of individual, functional and decorative clay vessels and forms requires dedication, commitment, and discipline along with a joy and love for the entire creative process. If my work provides a sense of wellbeing to you and communicates this life-giving force, then I have accomplished my goal.
