Charlie Parker is known for making large post

Charlie Parker is known for creating and teaching beautiful function pottery and large pots. He works out of  his St Petersburg studio, located at St Pete Clay Company. We are thrilled to have him join Saltwater Ceramics.

“I derive the greatest pleasure in transforming the earth’s raw material into functional works of art that enhance everyday life.   While my techniques are derived from traditions and techniques of the past, I am continually influenced by nature.  The forms, textures and colors I see and feel become a part of the clay. ”
