Charles Gluskoter

Studio potter Charles Gluskoter has been producing handmade stoneware vessels for thirty years. He has created a distinct style combining wheel throwing, and slab building in individual distinct vessels. Most of these pots have an old-world multi-cultural appearance. The large architectural pieces including indoor and outdoor lanterns, bonsai planters, and wall sconce lights, have a deep relief of textures created by hammering, and carving. Many of his forms such as teapots, jars, ikebana flower arranging pieces, funerary urns, and bonsai planters have a distinctly Asian appearance. Many of his textural pieces will have sculptural animals such as lizards, turtles, and beetles blended into the design. These pieces are highly detailed with handles, knobs, and feet.
